Slow Sunday Stitching

 Happy Easter!  Spring has finally arrived at our house.  We're having lovely high temperatures and spent most of Saturday outdoors working in the yard.  I love this time of year!

Spring Sing is complete.  I'm going to make it into 
a pillow cover for a friend.
I gave her a fall-themed embroidered pillow cover last October, and I
think she needs a Spring-themed one to change it out!

I finished up the four corner blocks for the Harmony hand-pieced QAL.  Next up are the 4.5 x 12.5 sections that connect these with the center square in a square.  Making good progress on this one.


Also, this month I'm adding a light blue hand-pieced scrappy trips block to my collection.  This block will be my slow Sunday stitching project for today!

  2. Happy Easter! That Harmony block looks like a doozy to make but it will be stunning. Of course, you have to include the blue penguins.

  8. Well, you caught me. I love that Harmony pattern you're making so much that I had to buy it for myself, although I'll be doing it by machine. Spring is arriving all over the place and I am so happy to see it. Have a good day.

  12. The weather is lovely here too. Currently, our daughter is napping in her hammock on the deck, enjoying the sunshine. Wilbs is really wishing he could be out there, so he's sitting in the windowsill of my son's room. I'm about to take a nap (indoors) - it's a good day for one! Maybe some sewing later.
