Scrappy Slow-Stitching Sunday

I finished up the International Embroidery Month Crabapple Hill Stitch-along project this week - the embroidery part at least!

I added a narrow border around the outside - a leftover scrap of the pink I used as the backing and binding of Scrappy Hearts and Nine-Patches.

I alco pieced a scrappy backing for it, using the paper-pieced hearts I was playing with in February.


Today I'll be putting in some slow-stitching time as I get started on hand quilting this.


Enjoy your Sunday!  Sharing at Quilting is more fun than Housework for Oh Scrap and Kathy's Quilts for Slow Sunday Stitching.

You SAL piece turned out beautiful, I love how you are finishing it, the fabric is just lovely. I had forgotten all about the SAL but after seeing yours I am so glad I at least have the pattern drafted and ready to stitch.

It’s so cute, Diann! I do like Crabapple Hill stitchers! Haven’t done one in a while! Sorry I missed this SAL.
The pink border is just perfect!

Your embroidery is so pretty, and the border and scrappy backing is adorable. I love all those colors and stitches, and hand quilting is perfect for it.
