RELAX AND ENJOY

Happy Sunday! What a beautiful day we are having.  Once again, I got to come home from church and relax because I made our dinner  yesterday.  That is such a great feeling, knowing the afternoon will be just for kicking back!

Last night we had some cooler weather move in.  It's about time! Seems we were already in to Spring around here!  But last night I pulled out my stitching and enjoyed being warm and cozy, stitching and watching a little TV.


I decided to work on one of my crazy quilt squares, but had other works nearby in case I decided I wanted to move in a different direction.  Stitching wise I can either embroider, bead, or work on my sampler.   Here is a sampler I am doing in beige and cream and brown.



My samplers are worked on an even weave fabric.  The above is linen.  I love the samplers because they are so easy to take on the road.  A few fibers, some needles and you're good to go.  The last couple of years I've found them so relaxing while waiting at the hospital during surgery for my husband, who had knee replacement surgery, or my dad, who has occasional hospital stays  Stitch, stitch, stitch, as the time goes tick, tick, tick.  

I hope you are having a lovely Sunday.  I am joining Seasonal Sundays at The Tablescaper. Thanks for stopping by!

  5. Your needlework is just beautiful. Did you learn needlework as a child and will you frame the sampler or use it another way?

  8. Hi Leslie, What great projects you have on the go! I especially like the sampler with all the different stitches. I am jealous that you have hyacinth in bloom already. We had a snow storm on the weekend and it definitely feels like winter will be here for some time to come.
