Yes, I know, I’m plodding along with my apron stitchery, but that’s no reason not to trace off and prepare a new stitchery project. I've decided I want to do this freebie from Stitch Doodles.
New pattern
Because I wanted to stitch something with a Spring vibe, I changed the words, and traced the pattern onto a very pale green fabric. So far, I’ve made a small start. Sorry, but this didn't photograph terribly well, but I’m sure you get the idea.
I've made a start
I needed my helper to hold the skein of Perle 5 green thread while I plaited it, then it is easy to pull a length out as required - I’ll be using some green on the flower stems of this design. I mentioned to Robin how I used to plait my daughter Nicky’s long blond hair when she was a little girl. Those were the days.
He helped reluctantly, I think he was busy watching sport on TV
The other bit of slow sewing I intended to do today was to hand stitch the back of the binding down on a little boy’s donation quilt. That didn't happen, because it never got stitched on! Never mind, there’s always tomorrow – or the next day.
Binding prepared

I need to get binding cut for my Love Letters quilt
Your photo of Enjoy the Little Things caught my attention at Kathy’s slow stitching. Really pretty!
Don’t we crafters have such wonderfully supportive husbands? Even if they are a bit distracted! 😊
Happy Stitching!
I like your new project. I hope you get to work on that donation quilt today. Enjoy all of your stitching.
Looks like it will be a lovely project.
It's always a good feeling to have the binding ready to go!! Your spring stitchery looks like it would be fun to stitch...hugs, julierose
Great projects. Looks like your helper is not too excited! Happy stitching!
I understand the need for Spring when winter doesn't quite want to give up! Your stitching design looks like a fun one!
Nice embroidery pattern! Your helper is a good sport! Gail at the Cozy Quilter
Love the new project for Spring you are working on.
That will be a fun project to stitch!
Great stitchery. It will look good with the changes you have made.
It’s always nice to start something fresh and to have choices on what to work on.
