Ugly overcast days are so rare here that when the wind picks up and it starts to feel a little like the big bad wolf is huffing and puffing at the door ... it makes us all feel a little under-the-weather. And by all of us, I mean me and the cats. Their reactions are predictable and very different. When the thunder started, Grace went into the kitchen and let me know by meowing non-stop that I needed to open the pantry door so she could go curl up in the back of that space. Then Johnny followed me upstairs into the bedroom when I went to grab a sweater and insisted he needed to go out into all that wind and weather onto the roof deck (it didn't happen).
On days like this all I want to do is wrap up in a quilt and do some hand-stitching ... and that's the plan for tonight. I'll be trying the new pincushion pattern. These are the fabrics I pulled for my first effort.
Do you have a project for Slow Sunday Stitching? Check out what everyone else is doing on Kathy's Quilts. It looks like there's a whole lot of appliqué and hexies going on today.

That pin cushion looks so cute. Be sure to post a pic when you're finished.
I agree what a neat pattern! Hope we get to see the finished pin cushion!
Looks like a perfect Sunday afternoon activity!
Great fabric choices. I look forward to seeing this one made. We are raining like crazy, but not windy, fortunately, and the thunder has moved off. Must be a national storm. LOL
I wish we could get a good storm like that here.
We are entering the rainy season here so lots of time for stitching on the couch.
I like pin cushions very much. The bird design looks very interesting. What do you plan to stuff it with?
How did the pincushion construction go?!?
