What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

 I’m up early this morning, so I thought I’d do my post for Slow Stitching since I’m up, rather than waiting till later this afternoon after we get home from church. The chipmunk for the Year in the Woods is finished. And better yet, I’ve gotten all of the gridding for the next section done as well and all of the flosses wound onto bobbins. I can now start on the Skunk. I hope this is as close as I ever get to one of those critters. Here are the finished Bear and Chipmunk together. I ...

 I want to take the opportunity to wish all who celebrate a very happy Resurrection Sunday. 

I wrote last week that I hoped to have the Bear for the Year in the Woods project finished by today. I made that goal with just hours to spare. I finished it last evening and then got a start on gridding the next section for the chipmunk. It is 10 grids across by 14 down. It is time consuming to do, but I have caught so many mistakes by having the grids there that is is more than worth the time and effort ...

 My Bear for the Year in the Woods is almost finished. Depending on the amount of time I spend in the evenings over the next week, it might just get finished. Then I can start gridding the next section and start on the Chipmunk. It is so much fun seeing these animals come to life stitch by slow stitch. I’ll link up to Kathy’s Slow Sunday Stitching

 My slow stitching focus continues to be the Bear for the Year in the Woods. I think I’m probably in the range of 60 percent finished with it. I started in on doing more of the bull rushes on the left hand side just to get a bit of a break from all the brown fur.

 I’ve finished the bottom third of the Bear for The Year in the Woods series and have now moved to working on the middle section. I find it easier to keep track of where I am when I break it down into these sections. And somehow the amount left to stitch doesn’t feel as overwhelming when I can’t see the whole thing. I’ll link up to Kathy’s Slow Sunday Stitching and then go find something to do, likely quilt related, to take my mind off the amount of snow that continues to come down. I ...

 I’ve been absent from the blogging world for a couple of weeks. I had a case of the crud with a nasty sore throat and just as nasty cough. But all is well now and I can get back to doing things I enjoy rather than vegetating in my recliner. I have gotten lots done on my next animal in The Year in the Woods series, the Bear. This one is a bit different than the others. The texturing is curves rather than the straighter lines on the rest that I’ve done, but I like it just as ...

 My goal from last week was to finish the stitching on the Ferret from The Year in the Woods and to start o the next set of three critters. I am happy to say that I met that goal. The ferret is finished. And the first section for the next set of three is gridded off and the Bear started. I haven’t much else to share at the moment, so I’ll link up to Kathy’s Slow Sunday Stitching and return to my stitching.
