I can’t hand stitch & watch tv, at the same time anymore - it’s a glasses thing.
I didn’t feel like starting a new audiobook or podcast today, so instead I put on some comfort tv…a show I know inside out, and don’t need to watch.
Listening to Columbo prove the murderer did it & how. 🤔🔍🥰

One more thing… 😁
What’s your comfort tv?

I was making good progress, moving & stacking my firewood in the early mornings, over the past bunch of weeks – almost done! 🪵👏
[You can see, from the wood bits on the ground, how big the pile used to be.]

It’s rainy today, so I’m hand quilting the signature wedding quilt, I’m currently working on, instead! 🥰🪡

Used the camera & lighting I have - turned out a little like an 8mm silent home movie. 😁

As you likely know — I love hand stitching & quilting by hand. 🪡🧵
Whenever I post anything about these, I always get many questions.
If I can figure out the technical, is there any interest is ‘watching’ me do some?

No promises, but I am curious. 🤔

Cozy Sunday vibes. Snuggled up with a blanket and a kitty, watching LotR with the hubby, and hand stitching my rag rug together.

When your thread gets short, during hand stitching, with just a bit of stitching left to do — Put your needle ‘through’ the thread close to the end (📷 1) and pull it through, to make a little knot at the eye of the needle (📷 2).
This locks the thread to the needle, for the last few stitches. 😊👏

Thanks to my friend Sue for reminding me about this great tip, we learnt from Hilda! 🥰😘

Newbie here, posting my first project using ! I closed the hole with a slip stitch, then felt like the underside was still looking pretty frayed and likely to catch, so I finished it off with a whip stitch. (And then had to look up the correct names for both stitches so I could write this post.)

This scarf has been sitting around in my craft bin for something like four years now, waiting for me to get off my ass and get 😅

Light ironing and hand stitching the neckline, one side at a time. When I left the sewing room today, the neckline is half finished. 👍
