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.
ReplyDeleteI agree what a neat pattern! Hope we get to see the finished pin cushion!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a perfect Sunday afternoon activity!
ReplyDeleteGreat 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
ReplyDeleteI wish we could get a good storm like that here.
ReplyDeleteWe are entering the rainy season here so lots of time for stitching on the couch.
ReplyDeleteI like pin cushions very much. The bird design looks very interesting. What do you plan to stuff it with?
ReplyDeleteHow did the pincushion construction go?!?
