Slow Stitchin'!!

 I am making the Temecula quilt company blocks (please click on the name for the link) over this summer...except I am making them eight inches finished instead of four inches.  I found a whole bunch of eight inch blocks in the quilt closet.  Maybe they can all be friends and be a quilt together!!  The backgrounds are different, but with sashing, maybe it could work.

 Here are some little quilts I love on my old piano...just playing here.

 Lori, do you see yours???

Below is my mother's fruit bowl.  It often had apples in the falltime in it, or bananas occasionally.  It is heavy!!  Does anyone know anything about it???

And at long last...here is the sampler...what I am slow stitching on.  I have done a lot, lot, lot of quilting of this, and am slow stitching the binding down.  I find a more personal connection with the fabric and fibers when I hand quilt...and I love it.  Wish I could hand stitch EVERYTHING!!!




Hope you all are finding some time to slow stitch this Sunday!!  I am linking to Kathy...so you can peek at what everyone else is slow stitching on today!



Have a great day, everyone!!!
