Working on this pillow, hope to have it done in a few days. I forget how much I like to embroider. Maybe I should be doing it year around not just in the winter.

Nancy, I am the same way. I knit and crochet all year, but in the dead of winter, I like to sew and embroider. I just started making yo yos, then on to embroidering some dish towels.

I too am embroidering dish towels (days of the week). Would like to make three sets of seven for D-I-L and two step daughters as gifts some time this year. Also embroidered a bookmark for
D-I-L's birthday in Feb. I think I almost like doing embroidering more so than knitting. But could be a toss up. Have lots more to embroider in my basket. Also working on a design I'll frame for newest grandson for Christmas next. It's so relaxing.

Yes, I have three projects that I am actually cross stitching. A bookmark that was a present from my granddaughter, and a large sampler I have been working on for years, and the ornament for my newest granddaughter that never got finished in time for x-mas!!!! I am behind for sure!!! Love your photo of your embroidery.

Wow! That's absolutely beautiful. You always do such nice work. I have Sunbonnet Sue dish towels that I have ironed the design on, but have not worked on in months. Your blog has inspired me to finally get
working on them.
