I especially love to hand-quilt, and feel the thread as it glides through the fabric. Something about it that is addicting, mesmerizing... I hope you were able to find the perfect project for the fabric in the unfinished blocks - it's lovely!<br />Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10711776825293238093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3572317733773180899.post-43706621650352835032016-08-09T01:09:36.773-04:002016-08-09T01:09:36.773-04:00Hi, Vic.

He won't be running a marathon any time soon but I'll take the improvement as it comes.<br /><br />I'm happier to unstitch when it's someone else's and not my own mistake when I was trying to hurry. ;-)<br /><br />The painting is by Philip Wilson Steer but I can see why you guessed Mary Cassatt.<br /><br />Thanks for visiting and leaving a comment.

I do enjoy hand stitching the binding down and it wouldn't be a problem with our air conditioning. I'm in Ohio. Where are you?<br /><br />Thanks for your good wishes for my husband. Little by little he's making progress.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3572317733773180899.post-792069536735723072016-08-09T01:01:03.772-04:002016-08-09T01:01:03.772-04:00Hi, Susan.

I need to sit and do a few drawings to see if I can get my ideas together. I don't get to do hand work every day but, like you, I like knowing it's there when I can.<br /><br />Yes, my husband is doing better. It's slow progress, but at least it is progress.

I too must always have something ready and in process to pick up and sit quickly stitching each day. I don't always get to it, but it is comforting to know it is there. Your husband is doing better?

I signed up for Wild Olive's Embroider Around the House Stitching Club and am truly enjoying it. Slow Stitching Sundays have truly blessed me. I know what you mean by picturing yourself nestled in a chair slow stitching. It's.....peaceful.....Miaisminehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07657955150576729566noreply@blogger.com
