I've been switching over my fall decorations for Christmas/Winter ones, and I finished up Melisa's little design "Bringing Home the Tree." You might notice that the snow and snowman are stitched in blue - I could tell you it's because it was so cold here when I was working on this one that everything turned blue with cold! But really, I used blue floss because I realized white wouldn't show up against the white background!
So I kept up the blue theme with the pillow backing, too.
Even Santa has a blue suit here!
I have more cross-stitch and embroidery pieces in progress, but first I'm going to finish stitching the binding on the Christmas tablerunner that I've been working on the last couple of weeks.
This will be my slow stitching for today!
Linking up with Kathy's Quilts for Slow Sunday Stitching.

Good idea to use the blue, that is a cute cross stitch. Love the blue Santa too. Wish it was colder here as we are forecast high 60s into the low 70s this week. Not my kind of winter weather! We really need to move north to a cooler clime. ;)
Bringing Home the Tree is really cute, the blue was a great idea. Enjoy your slow stitching today. Fingers crossed you have a finish before bed time tonight.
binding is good for a slow stitching day
Love the blue snowflakes. Enjoy your stitching today.
The Red truck cross stitch is stinking cute! Your binding will be done in no time and the runner will soon be on display! Gail at the Cozy Quilter
I enjoy seeing your seasonal cross stitch pillows in their corner!
Aren't you just the rebel giving Santa a blue suit!
I am pretty sure I did that red truck xstitch also, but haven't finished it. I better look in the pile for that one! Happy stitching today.
Lovely stitching Diann. So pretty and seasonal! Enjoy your slow stitching Sunday.
Cute finish Diann! I think I would have used blue too. Have a great week!
Another sweet pattern from Melisa! Great finish!
Enjoy your binding on this pretty Christmas runner.
Bringing Home the Tree is adorable, Diann and I love the addition of blue.I am so grateful that you stitched this little piece . Love your Santa too. Enjoy finishing up your darling table quilt. I can not wait to see it completed. Hugs.
Your bringing hone the tree finish is so cute! Love the blue snowflakes and chuckled over the blue Santa! I've not seen a blue Santa before; but, he looks terrific. Best wishes to finishing that binding!
Your project as are lovely, I love the Christmas tablerunner.
I love your little cross-stitch. I think the blue snow works perfectly. I like that table runner too. Enjoy stitching the binding.
Your Cross-stitch looks perfect on the Santa in Blue!
I love the little tree with the blue snowman! Also the blue Santa! Did you know that Santa traditionally wears blue in many German homes? He wears red in the US because of Coca Cola, believe it or not. These are darling little things, regardless of color!
