I haven't had an embroidery project to stitch on since I finished up Woven Wreaths last month, so when I saw that Crabapple Hill Studios was hosting one last International Embroidery Month stitch-along, I knew I wanted to join in. You can find the free pattern on their website under the Downloadables tab.
There are actually two choices of design to work on - I chose "Choose Kindness." Here's the pattern example:
And here's where I am - not very far along - but enjoying these sunny sunflowers!
Something needs to bring some sun in here, judging by the current view outdoors!
Brrr!
This project is appropriate for the weather! I finished stamp 3 last night - Sledding Friends!
Stamp 4 is A Winter Mitten. Definitely needed right now!
There should be plenty of time for slow stitching today!

Choose Kindness is looking fabulous, Diann. Love the big bright sunflowers. And it is such a joy to see your progress on the winter sampler. We may get some snow later this week. So I am still working on winter pieces too. Enjoy your day. Hugs.
We are in the midst of a winter storm today so it’s a good day to stay home and sew! Love your winter stamps project! Each little square brings a smile! Your new embroidery project is bright and cheerful. Enjoy every stitch!
Your sunflowers look beautiful, that looks like a fun embroidery project. That looks like a cold scene in your neighborhood!
we will have the winter scenes here too in a couple days more snow coming winter is not over. The embroidery is a fresh of spring!
Nice sunflower embroidery. Makes me wish for warmer weather! And your winter cross stitch is progressing.
Such a good sentiment, choose kindness. We never regret when we choose to be kind!
You do need some sunshine in your corner! We might be hogging it all this coming week with upper 80s. Your new stitches look great.
Your embroidery stitches are always so nice, Diann. Love the sunflowers. We warmed up last week but forecast is for snow next week. I'm ready for spring!
You and your sunflowers! :-) It will be cute when it's finished.
I thought for a minute you were missing from Kathy’s Slow Sunday Stitching. I was looking for your Winter Stamp cross stitch. Now I see you are working on Sunflowers! So Cheerful! Our Sun is shining off and on today. The sun makes me happy! Enjoy using those bright happy colors.
Such a pretty sunflower pattern! Your start looks great and your sledding friends stamp is terrific too!
Those are wonderful projects. I'm mostly doing machine embroidery right now.
Almost like Crabapple Hill designed that bouquet for you! Lol! Thanks for the link.
If you are currently enjoying the frigid temps and wicked winds that I am, you definitely need those mittens. The sunflowers are bright and cheerful. The make you hope warm weather comes soon. I like your Sledding stamp. Stay safe and warm.
Those sunflowers sure will warm you up! Stay warm.
Such a lovely embroidery piece you are stitching, Diann. Those sunflowers will sprinkle sunshine in your snowy little corner of the world. 'Choose Kindness' is very apt for these times.
I love the pattern you chose! I'm trying to get some embroidery finished but it's been a busy month. Thanks for sharing where the pattern originated. I love it and your embroidery is FABULOUS!
