Some slow stitching for a Sunday

During my evening hand stitching time this week, I finished up the April heart for "A Year of Hearts," designed by Melisa at PinkernPunkin Quilting.  Those little baby birds in their nest just stole my heart!  I'm glad Mama brought them some food.


Here are the four completed blocks for the year.  I'm looking forward to the May block!


Today's slow stitching "job" is to watch Kathy's Schmitz's video for the May Woven Wreath design, and then get started stitching it.

Those flowers in the teapot remind me of some pots I have in my front garden area.
Something came back from last year - unexpectedly - and it's getting ready to bloom!

I think it's Dianthus - with red flowers.  
I'll let you know!

Linking up with Kathy's Quilts for Slow Sunday Stitching!

  5. From what I can see I'd say Dianthus also. I hope to work a little in a flower bed this aft. We had over 3" rain this week so it might be to wet in a few of the beds yet.

  13. Your Early Birds is adorable, Diann. It is such a treat to see all of your blocks. I can not thank you enough for stitching along with me. Your Kathy Schmitz embroidery is gorgeous. I am quite smitten with the tea cup of flowers as well. I hope your dianthus puts on a show of flowers this season. Hugs.
