{this moment} Chain Stitch

{this moment} - A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. Inspired by Soule Mama.


Image: We try running stitch and chain stitch on a calico sampler with assistance from Made by Me: A book of lovely things to make, by Jane Bull.

  1. Soule Mama once did a great post on Ezra sewing some cheese cloth-type fabric - it looked like such good fun I always meant to do it with my girls...but never did! Thanks for reminding me...really must do this *one* day :-)
    have a great weekend

  3. Oh I love it! It makes me so happy to see little ones sewing, and with such intensity!

    Our moment is a snuggle with the kitties:

  5. My girl (16) is working on an embroidered headband - she's never embroidered before, but loves detail work. This is a great photo to remember. She'll love having these skills for the rest of her life. I'm teaching my 10yo son to knit - hope he enjoys that skill. (found you via soule mama)
