Hand stitching is relaxing to me too. I have tons of blocks that I have sewn together while sitting with DH while he watches TV. TV has hardly anything I enjoy. Guess it is an age thing. LOL
Blondie, and other users of perle cotton...What size do you use? I bought size 8 thread but it seems kind of bulky to me and my fabric wants to pucker. I know, you are going to say don't pull your stitches so tight! I am working on that. LOL
