Slow Sunday Stitching

Two of my previous slow stitching projects featured in Sunday posts were finished this week!

Fall Sunflowers

         

and Rainbow Nine Patch.

So, what to work on next in my slow stitching time?  Back to a couple of ongoing embroidery projects.   First, I prepped and traced the October heart for Melisa's A Year of Hearts project.  Seeing as it's now November, I'm a little behind, but it won't take long to catch up.  

This probably needs some coloring, too. 

And - seeing as how it's November, it's time to stitch up the eleventh little design in the Woven Wreaths project.  It's a sweet cornucopia full of fall motifs.  I've watched Kathy Schmitz's video, so I'm all set to get started!

What are you working on today?

I have another finish to share today.  That makes two this week!  (See my sunflower mini quilt here.)  Rainbow Nine Patch is one of my Rainbow Scrap Challenge projects for 2024.  I started making the blocks in about March or so because I wanted a new hand-piecing project.  I had never made Hollow 9 Patches, but thought they'd be perfect for hand-piecing, and they were!

I ended up with 16 six inch blocks, so this measures 24 inches square.  To finish it up I also hand quilted it. 

  A sweet tiny floral print that was in my goodie box from Nann made a great backing, and I decided on Grunge White Paper for the binding.  I'm not sure I've ever used a white binding before, but I love it on this quilt!  It highlights the white centers of the blocks.

The hand-piecing and hand quilting always

make a quilt very soft and drapey.

This little quilt makes a great doll quilt, so here are Raggedy Andy and Raggedy Kevin cuddling up in their new quilt!  These guys were made by my mom for our boys when they were little so that is how they got their names.
