My hand hurts after all that hand quilting on Wild Thing so for hand stitching projects I'm working on a variety of different projects and won't be hand quilting any quilts for a while.
I just finished the embroidery on a dishtowel. This one will probably be for me and not make it to the Christmas gifts box. A couple of cherry themed hot pads and a red crocheted dishcloth should complete the set.
I'll probably stamp a few other dishtowels to work on when the urge strikes. I think I need to wash up a package of towels first. The transfers work better on laundered fabric.
And in my bag of crochet I have a shawl I've been working on for one of the granddaughters for Christmas. Sometimes I take it to work to work on during lunch break. When this one is finished I'll be making a pink one for the other granddaughter.
And finally, I'm going to start working on my version of the The 1718 Coverlet. I want to make it all by hand like the original. I thought it might be a good summer project for many summers to come.

I am excited to hear you are starting the coverlet... it will be fun to watch it grow with your talented stitches! Love the cherries towel :)
have fun with the 1718 coverlet - I'm going to start the Caswell Quilt soon - I keep saying I must do another finish before I start it but I doubt I will hold off much longer :)
Looking forward to your hand piecing project! I love doing piecing and applqiue in the summer. I hope to really gets some parts made into tops.
That's a hand piecing project to keep you busy for years and a really beautiful one too. I really like the idea of a hand piecing project for summer.
