Half of 2020 is behind us.
(not sure if this is a relief?... or not)
Either way, I'm sure many of you quilters, stitchers and makers have immersed yourselves in fabric, thread and stitch activities to soothe the mind and soul during the turbulent, on-going, coronavirus attack.

A revisit to kantha slow stitching
Yesterday, I posted a picture of my kantha stitched Flag Girl in honor of Independence Day.

This prompted a revisit to a nearly-complete
Sunshine Girl kantha stitching project that was started about
2-3 years ago. While watching the
Hamilton musical on TV with my husband yesterday, I enjoyed a couple hours of relaxing kantha hand stitching on this piece.

The stitching part of this project is almost complete... just the upper corner areas remain unfinished. I do love hand stitching with yarn-dyed wovens from
Diamond Textiles.

Squirrel...
I guess this is why my Stitching Success Tracker is so colorful. I bounce between several "types" of machine and hand needlework... and between new projects and a multitude of WIPs [works in progress].
I think each one feeds a specific need.
