You know how that is~~~~ sometimes you just need a little me time……
Time to think…
Time to wonder….
Time to plan...
Time to read a good book, watch a good movie, or sew.
Not long, just an hour or so; and when you come back you are refreshed and renewed and rearing to go.
I was home alone for a few hours today, so I did not clean, or do laundry, or cook. (I know Elaine, I do not cook anyway)!!!
SOOOOO......
I decided to sew…sew something fun and new.
It has been quite a while since I have embroidered, but thanks to Kaaren, I have found out that I still can stitch.
Well, Corey at Little Miss Shabby is hosting a BOM called Birdie Stitches. It is sooo darling!!!! I am giving this month a try. I am using all fabrics from my stash. Two charm packs of “Oh, Cherry, Oh” and other scraps I have been saving.
This is the first block. The hardest part for me was tracing the design!!

Now I am off to pick floss colors and see if I really can still embroider.
Take a peek at this adorable BOM!!
Of course you can still embroider Jane! It's like riding a bike, only with a needle and thread. That doesn't even make sense!
ReplyDeleteDarling little project...love the bright colors around the edge!

ReplyDeleteYou never forget how to embroider sew go and stitch and maybe add some to a mug rug lol..This is a great project...you are stitching this, that what a great start to your new year....
ReplyDeleteI am wanting so badly to do stitchery but don't know where to begin. I did do a little wall hanging a while back but these BOM's are soooo cute.
ReplyDeleteVery cute. Love your fabric choice.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking you will do just fine, LOL! It looks great already. It is nice taking a little mental break, isn't it.
ReplyDeleteI love that fabric grouping. So cute! I made two projects with my jelly roll of that. Plus I had leftovers to throw in the scrap bin for my stepdaughter. She used it in a string quilt.
ReplyDeleteHave fun re-learning embroidery.
That is really cute.
ReplyDeleteI am going to teach myself to embroidery with this BOM. I love the cuteness and the simplicity of it. I'm not sure what size needle to buy with 6 strands of floss - any suggestions. Everything I have is way to small to thread 6 strands.
