End of the crosstiching outburst?

 It seems that the winter of crosstiching is reaching it`s end.. My mind drifts more and more to fabrics!

It was a welcome distraction from the health issues and hospital nasties I had last year.

And I found that a quilting project isn’t the thing that you easily take to hospital. I had no ready-to-go handsewing project at hand. All I had then, was a rather boring book and a windowview.

 

Besides, when nurses come to get you for tests, it is not easy to shove the quilting a side immediately.

So, a crosstitch project is more portable and my one colour thingies from www.longdogsamplers.com were small enough to toss aside whenever necessary.

I kept on with embroidery, because there were no fabric choices and layout choices to be made and it took quite some time for my mind to relax again.

I will keep this blue project for `just in case` and `you`ll never know`situations. And for `I need something to do while on the road`..

It is a rather big project with 100 blocks. I stitch on an average of 1 block a day.

But now fabrics and quilts are on my mind again. The Gossip quilt needs to be (finally) finished and other patterns are calling.

Shall I do a panama pyramids quilt or the cheddar stars by youngatheartquilting (check her insta, it s lovely)

Perhaps I should go back to the old routine of quilting in the evenings and patchwork during the day…
