Slow Sunday Stitching

I managed to get a couple of hours in the greenhouse and garden before it started raining. So back indoors for coffee and sewing.  I've finished January and February Snow Happy Ornaments.

Now to continue stitching March.

These are such fun to sew, I've been preparing more blocks but need to find better matches for the embroidery floss for some of the wool felt.
Happy slow sewing.

Slow Sunday Stitching

A gorgeous sunny day here, but quite cold on the walk round the block. Still icy in the shade. After a busy active couple days it's been nice to get back to sewing. This is the first of the snowmen from Snow Happy Ornament Fun by Bunny Hill Designs. I hope to make one each month, This angel one still needs the embroidered arms and halo. I've prepared a few more months to give me a head start. Simple pleasure of choosing different coloured felts for each block. I'm not sure if I will make individual ornaments or sash together as a wall hanging, there's plenty of time to decide.

The back ground fabric is a hessian colour and works well with the felt. I've enjoyed using blanket stitch with matching embroidery thread around the edges.
I hope to join you all next week,
Josie aka Alcea Rosea

Slow Sunday Stitching

First an apology for not replying to last weeks comments. I have been busy tidying up my craft room looking for parts of projects that need finishing. I've finished the last three blocks of row B of Dear Jane.

Oops, I thought I'd resized them to a better size.
The last picture is C1 parts to be assembled. I had fun with the orientation whilst cutting the pieces. I do hope to get some sewing in as well as cutting and ironing the next blocks.
The sun was out long enough for a walk round the block before lunch.
Happy Sewing.

Slow Stitching Sunday

I need to add the link whatsit to my sidebar but I'm too tired. I have been de-Christmasing the house most of the day. I did hand sew the binding on Alfie's pyjamas whilst listening to the radio.I chickened out of the trousers and shirt and made the easier pyjamas.

 I have not sewn my Dear Jane, so that is next on my wish list.  I shall blog read later.

Slow Stitching Sunday

I need to sew his arms on with stronger thread but at least he's not in pieces any more. I hope to cut him out some clothes this afternoon, boxer shorts, trousers and shirt.

 It has been a strange week, quiet times and then busy. I'll be glad to be back to our normal. The weather is still dismal today but should be brighter tomorrow.

This is my other hand sewing project of the day, Dear Jane with a few segments still to applique on this block. I hope to make a lot more progress in 2020.
Now to visit a few blogs. I wish everyone a healthy, happy new year.

Slow Sunday Stitching

Slow Sunday Stitching is something I often do. Today I spent the morning Spring Cleaning the dining room ready for guests on Boxing Day. After lunch and a walk round the block came the fun that is cleaning the kitchen floor.
Now that our evening meal is over I can retreat to my craft room to sew a bit more of Alfie, another rabbity hare. In the photo is Luna and a wood mouse, with Alfies unconnected bits in the middle.

Monday following FNSI

I enjoyed cutting the remaining slices of the Christmas Tree skirt. I started earlier in the day to make sure I was joining others. The colours are not true, more grey and cream. Hopefully it will go with their colour scheme. I also found some calico for the backing.

Sewing with my Singer 222 is always fun, the stitches are so neat.
Now to catch up with blogs. I wish I could remember how to add links to Wendy the lovely hostess of FNSI.
