What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

 In my slow stitching this week I was able to complete a couple of things. All the stitching for our grand-daughter’s stocking is finished. I still need to sew it all together, but that can all be accomplished on the sewing machine. The other thing I finished is the Jack Rabbit for The Year in the Woods stitchery. I’ve gridded out the next section and gotten a small start which will be the Raccoon.

We received almost a foot of snow over night and it is still coming down, so we decided to stay home from church. That ...

 I’ve been very lazy in my slow stitching for the past week. Nothing was appealing to me. I didn’t want to sew on little pieces, and I didn’t want to knit, or do much of anything.

Actually, I just looked back at a picture taken of the beginning of the quilting and it is dated March 13, 2024, so that answers that particular question. There’s no way I would ...

 I ended the year 2024’s slow stitching with a finish. All other stitcheries were put on hold while I worked on a new pair of mittens. Somewhere over the course of time since last winter I lost one of the mitts that made up the pair of my old driving mittens, which necessitated the new ones. Hence the rush to get them finished. Here they are, already worn and used a number of times. And since those are finished, I was able to get back to my cross stitching of the Jackrabbit for the series “A Year in the ...

 I’ve been absent from the blogging world for a bit. The monitor screen on my computer died and it too a while to get the problem diagnosed and then even longer to get a solution implemented. But it’s all good now and I’m back in blogging mode again. 

Just before the computer problem, I finished my Swans for the winter series of At Home In The Woods. Here are all three side by side. 

I did finally decide to order a frame for it but it hasn’t arrived yet. 

I have since started on the spring ...
