Slow Sunday Stitching - April 6, 2025

First Sunday of the month, so reporting on the daily temperature log.  Pattern is Temperature Stitches by Stitching Mommy on Etsy.

And where I am overall.   March stitch was Diamond Eyelets.  Unlike most eyelets, these didn't give me much grief!

Other monthly reporting includes the Mead Dragon - details in the month end post here.  

I've also put in several hours on the beading on the fountain side of the KC Plaza Sewing Bag.  The design looks much more balanced with the water sprays filling in the top!  Still to do by mid-month, the beading in the water and the backstitch and beading on the border.   

In knitting news, I got to the top of the charity hat on Friday.

Now as I learned with the Musselburgh Hat, I can't do crown decreases in a busy environment, so I didn't take my knitting to Carl's 5K on Saturday.  This was his first non-school race.  He won his age bracket (M 15-19) and had quite a respectable time considering that the race was cold, rainy and VERY muddy.

Instead, I started the next perforated paper Santa.   I sorted thread and got everything set up and just barely started.  I'll show a picture next week.   Linking up with the SSS crew for the weekly round up of inspiration.

  3. You've got some fun projects in the works! I love the temperature stitch - would love to stitch something like that, too. I'll have to go look at that shop.

    1. Gail, the April stitch is satin stitch - set in an alternating brick pattern of horizontals and verticals. Hope we have a spring with enough variety in temps to show it off!
