Slow Sunday Stitching

Kathy of Kathy's Quilts and Slow Sunday Stitching shared a reflection today about how Sundays use to be days of rest.  We sort of do that here. We go to Mass and then come home and have a sweet with tea or coffee and read the paper.  This sets the tone for most of the day - taking it slow.  Are you resting?   Here you'll find Kathy's thought on Sundays and her Sunday stitching.

I'm going to be working on my Anna's Garden block - almost done and then it will be time to prep another block.  Then there's some machine quilting on a baby quilt and binding my Mod Mod quilt.

Have a restful day, everyone.

I Like Thursdays

I like that I finished another bag of scraps and made another baby quilt top.  But I must be honest and tell you that I'm not crazy about it. Too busy.  Wish now I'd used only two prints and some white instead in these disappearing four patch blocks.  The one in the top corner is because I cut one side too big. The four patch in the middle just didn't work after that, so I put in a solid.  The yellow print flannel behind it will be the back.  Measures 32 1/4" square. Going to the neonatal clinic.

We've had some winds here and that's a good thing in our 4/10th of an acre.  Our picking pole can't reach the remaining pomelos, so the wind is nicely swirling the tree about and having a few fall down. Yippee - fresh fruit for breakfast.

Lastly, I'm liking the odd weather we've had - two days over 95 degrees. I should count them as the first days of summer. Friday, it's suppose to go back to 69.  What a roller coaster we are on.

Do stop by Lee Anne's post of I Like Thursdays.  It's fun to read about positive things at least once a week.

Some of This; Some of That - 4/8

Besides my Lady Liberty, I did make a few more blocks and used a tiny bit of stash:

1. cut out some churn dash blocks for  My Small World - using these as leaders and enders as I sew other stuff.

2. Made nine blocks for another baby quilt using the disappearing four patch idea.

3. Made some yellow HSTs for my Meadow project and RSC 2018.

4. and of course Lady Liberty (see previous post).  That bit of work used up 1.35 yards.  New YTD total equals 18.88 yds of the 28 yds I should have used by now.  How did you do?

I'll be working on my Anna's Garden block with hand applique.  Almost done with it and then I'll start working on my Bliss again.

I'm linking to Kathy's Slow Sunday Stitching, Cynthia's Oh Scrap, Angela's RSC Challenge, and Sunday Stash.  See you there.
