I am really enjoying my
'slow sewing' campaign....
(My everyday job is stressful...
I do not want my hobby to be!)
In the last couple of days
I finished this bee block for Carla...
a little hand pieced 6" DP block.
And this simple iPad bag....
being modelled again by Helen....
after all, it is for her!
Happy 'slow' sewing!

I sure like that bee block and the ipad case is lovely. I agree that hobbies should be for fun, not for pressure.

It's all too easy to let the crazy pace of day to day life carry over into our sewing life. I'm glad you're intentionally taking it slow and appreciating all the good things that a creative life bring. Here's to slow and sedate!
Love the bee block theme we have for this month!
They're beautiful Suz!!
I so agree with you about the need keep sewing from being stressful!! Your block for Carla is beautiful!!
Sew slow sounds great! The ipad bag is great!
Great point that sewing should be fun! I love the iPad bag, pretty fabric choices!! Also, the block for Carla is so pretty!!
I'm so excited. I spied that block on Flickr first thing this a.m.

Gorgeous block and the bag is beautiful!
oh my! all of the binding on that bag is beautiful, but i'd really have to be in the mood to sign up for it :)
happy slow sewing to you! it sounds like a holiday that should be on my calendar, too.
I SO agree with slow sewing to balance a busy job. I do the same and an hour of hand sewing does wonders. I love your Ipad bag. I really like all the edges in red. Helen is an excellent model and a lucky recipient!
Loving my slow project too (although the urge to just 'get on with it' is very strong!).
Lucky Helen - that triangle-flower DS print is my absolute favourite ever!
I too have been enjoying slower sewing - so enjoyable! I love your ipad bag - so pretty and a great idea.
I am glad to see you are enjoying some stress free sewing. That's what it always should be but I know we sometimes make it stressful.
Happy slow sewing to you too! I'm right with ya...
I'm totally with you on the slow sewing. Love your projects, they are beautiful x
Love that ipad bag.
I'm with you on the slow sewing as well, I stressed myself out over the weekend doing some machine quilting and then told myself just to stop, put it away and go back to what I was enjoying making.
"Slow" sewing, oh yes, that sounds like my cup of tea. Beautifully done Susan.
Very cute bag! For being a slow sewer you are sure keeping up the production of sweet projects.

Sometimes we forget that our hobby is for pleasure! Great makes Susan!
