Stitching

Very little has been going on with me, mostly feeling tired and not much sewing. I've stitched a little with redwork and Gail's new BOM, which is turning out to be a sweet stitchery, I can't wait until the next months block comes out. The redwork cats is something that's been on my list for a long time....finally got them stitched.

We haven't had any new snow for a couple of weeks but the ground is still covered in the white stuff even with having a bit of rain. We've had the strangest weather, the last week has been the thickest fog all day long, a person could only see about a half block away and it stayed that way all day long....I hope the sun will be out today or I might start feeling that sadness one gets without the sun or maybe that's why I've been feeling so tired, whatever it is I sure hope it passes soon.

I hope you've had time for needle and thread, thanks for stopping by.

  2. Mmmm, very pretty stitchery, Wendy. I have been sewing, staying busy, trying not to think about the bitter cold weather. Really, this is my time to sew and quilt, so it's all good until I need to head out of the garage. Yikes!

  3. Oh I love the stitcheries! Especially the tea dyed look ones! Hope when our blocks start showing up you cheer up - it is the weather. I was kind of out of it, but now that we have sun i'm feeling much chipper!

    Thanks for any help!

  7. Yucky winter weather makes it hard to do any stitching. I make myself just go to my sewing room and tidy up (which it always seems to need) and next thing you know an hour or more has gone by and I've been productive.

    Love your stitcheries, they are adorable!

  9. Love, love, love the little cat stitcheries. So darn cute. Hang in there....spring is right around the corner. My DD is very affected by dreary weather so I understand where you're coming from.

  13. Your stitcheries are terrific. I have downloaded Gail's BOM, but not yet started. The cat stitcheries are wonderful. We just got 6 inches of snow today, I would be glad to send you some, I have had enough already.

  14. Oh so cute! Love everything, as usual. Hang in there you'll see the sun soon. We see way too much of the sun.

  15. I too have felt quite weary lately and sometimes when I think of picking up my quilting...well, the energy just isn't there...which is really disappointing since I'm in the middle of hand stitching two, one for each grandaughter and I just bought material to get going on one for a friend who is marrying in June! sigh....

  16. The stitcheries look wonderful - I particularly like the background you used for Gail's block.

    I'm still trying to catch up on last year's Capricorn Quilts stitcheries, trying to not get behind on Ellie's Calendar blocks, and just starting Lynn's Noah's Ark!

    Gail's are going into a folder on the hard drive for when... uh... I don't have anything else that needs to be done! LOL!

  17. Your doing beautiful stitcheries even though not feeling the brightest! Do you know, I really believe weather affects us more than we realize! We have quite a short summer here in Perth and I said to DH last night'this doesn't seem right for Perth to be hot'. He wholeheartedly agreed - I can't wait for the cooler weather - the heat is making me lethargic! It will all pass, so chin up!

  18. The cats are adorable! You always come up with the cutest patterns. I've not gotten much sewing done, but I finished my sewing room and now I'm ready to rock-n-roll.

  19. Oh I hope you feel better soon Wendy. Hubby suffers from SAD and it's awful this time of year for him not being able to sit on the balcony in the sun. if you don't feel better soon, have you doc check you thyroid level. That's what gives you the juice to move every day! Feel better!

  26. Sending some warm sunny wishes your way. We here are excited about possibly getting 2 inches of snow tommorrow! That's a big deal for us. But then it must all go away quickly. I keep thinking about 6 weeks and it will be spring. Your stitching is cute - love the cats.

  30. Wendy,
    Your cat blocks are adorable as usual.........Lack of sun causes winter duldrums.I have depression problems,so I know how you feel.Keep on stitching and get alot of naps,it helps.

  31. Such darling blocks you are working on *S*
    We are having unusual weather, too. I think that it should be going back to a more normal pattern in the next couple of days . . . . I hope it does the same for you.

  34. Hi Wendy,
    Take care of yourself. Love the cat stitchery. Please tell us who the pattern designer is. Mary

  35. Hi Wendy - I understand that feeling - for me it's feeling down in the dumps and January always seems to bring it to me and I've got them right now also. Our weather has been so strange as well - and it's been a loooong winter so far - that sure doesn't help. Hope your feeling up to snuff real soon. Your stitcheries are darling - so cute.

    Hugs - Karen

  36. The redwork blocks are so cute. I love your background fabric on your "love" stitchery. Hopefully the sunshine will make you feel better.

  37. Love the redwork cats, Wendy. Whose pattern is that? I too am intrigued by both BOMs you have pictured but haven't started either yet. We are also having fog here in WA, so it must cover a pretty big area....very tiresome but better than snow in my book, that's for sure!

  38. I just love the redwork cats. Funny, I own dogs. HA HA! Can you tell me where you got the patterns?
