a season by handWelcome to the kick off of A Season by Hand. We’re beginning our big move this week, which will include a week of driving! So I’ve packed up my bag of embroidery, paper piecing, and even a little hand quilting, and am ready to do a little slow down stitching while I’m away from my sewing machine.

I’ve enlisted a lovely group of bloggers who are excited to share some inspiration and tutorials for making things by hand this summer {or winter, for our southern hemisphere friends}. All the projects will be tailored toward things you can do while you’re away from home, at the park, visiting with friends, and even on the road.

Here are all the details you should need!

  1. I will look forward to following along. I love hand work. 🙂 And I will be without a sewing room for the next 6 months, so new handwork projects will be welcome. 🙂

  2. This will be a great blog-hop! I plan to spend a lot of time in the hammock this summer so I’ll need hand work. 🙂

  3. Please be safe. We are dealing with Andrea: the wind, rain, tornado watches, and trees crashing down on our power lines. It’s difficult to sew and do internet work when don’t have electrical power.

  4. I am glad your having a weekly give away for comments – I don’t have a blog, ficker or instagram account so I won’t be linking but I am already inspired to do a bit more hand stitching this weekend. Thanks & safe travels.

  5. I’m really looking forward to this hop. I got a late start but I’ve already seen some great ideas.
