Slow Sunday Stitching

 Kathy, at Kathy’s Quilts who hosts the Sunday Stitching link party, asked if we had any stitching plans for 2025. I hadn’t really thought about it, not seriously. But then I thought I’d better think about it. I have a terrible habit of bouncing from one project to another and therefore not getting things done. Or at least I do with quilting. I seem to be more constant when it comes to cross stitching. But there are some other things I’d like to get done. I’d like to finish all of the animals for A Year In The Woods. The Jackrabbit is the fourth, so quite a way to go on that goal. But, I also have a quilt that is being hand quilted, or at least was being hand quilted until I stalled out on it. I would really like to get that done. And part of me is feeling the slight itch to get back to English Paper Piecing. I’m not going to make concrete goals about what to work on when. Those never seem to last long. But maybe writing it down here will at least bring it more into the front part of my brain to be aware of.  Certainly, the winter is a good time to be doing the hand stitching. I can get it done and keep my feet covered and warm at the same time. There’s a thought.... And the more I think the more I realize that I have a couple of cross stitch projects that were abandoned and need to be finished. I really should get them finished. And then there are a couple more that are finished and just need measuring and framing. I really should get them measured and frames ordered. I have all the framing supplies here to fully finish the first of the animals for the Year in the Woods. I just need to set aside the time and do it. Thinking is so dangerous.....

Anyhow, I did get more done on The Jackrabbit, who now has most of one ear. Now that I have the stitches in his ear in place, I can move on to finishing his face. 

I’ll link up to Kathy’s Slow Sunday Stitching And then maybe do something about all those thoughts....

I love reading all your comments, and am grateful for each one. I try very hard to answer them all, but lately I haven’t quite been able to answer all of them.
