Slow stitching for a Sunday

For most of this week I've focused on the Sunflower Sampler from Melisa at PinkernPunkin.  I enjoyed stitching the alphabet, and got some of the sunflower - stem and partial leaves - completed.


Until Friday, when I got the binding machine sewn onto the front of Patchwork Hearts, and started hand sewing it down to the back.  There's 250 inches of binding to stitch on this quilt, and I've done one side (65 inches), so there's a ways to go yet.


This will keep me busy for Slow Sunday Stitching!
Linking up with Kathy's Quilts.

    Fun things to stich on to keep you out of trouble today! Are you able to stitch for long periods of time without your body protesting(like your hands or neck)?

    It's always fun to be so close to a finish. You've got lots to keep your hands stitching today.

    That is going to be a nice sized quilt for you, if it is for you (how can you give it up?) I love the letters on that sweet little stitchery.
