Slow Stitching this week

I finished up the watering can and flowers design from Kathy Schmitz.  This one was so fun and stitched up quickly!  I really enjoyed the different kinds of flowers.


And the sweet little bees, too!


Now I'm back to the hand-pieced scrappy trips blocks in aqua/turquoise for one of my Rainbow Scrap Challenge projects.  One block is finished and one in progress.

This will be my Sunday stitching for today,
and I'll be joining in with everyone at Kathy's Quilts
who encourage each other to slow down and stitch!
