There hasn't been much slow stitching this weekend ... at least not as much as I would like. I walked with my friend/neighbor yesterday morning, and I celebrated T#1's birthday yesterday evening. Today is his friend party, and he insisted that he wanted me to be there ... I realize that this may well be the last year that he is cool with having his Nana at a friend party, so I wouldn't pass on this for anything!
I did get some piecing done on my Martha Washington's Flower Garden yesterday afternoon. I finished piecing one block and got a start on another.
I hope to be able to do a little more slow stitching tonight after the party while watching the hockey game ... I'm recording this morning's game as we'll be leaving for church in about 15 minutes, so I won't be able to see the end of this game. It's hard to imagine that it will have as an exciting finish as yesterday's, which was made even more exciting by the fact that TJ Oshie plays for "my" Blues! ;-)
Have a blessed Sunday!

Good morning! How I am loving that new quilt. I may eventually get around to learning how to do that too. LOVE the colors. Sounds like you have a busy day ahead, but a good one. Us too. I am leaving for the day in about 45 minutes. But I got A LOT of busy work done yesterday so honestly a day just spent in worship and with family sounds about as inviting as it can get. Enjoy your day, and happy birthday to that grandson!
ReplyDeleteHope you had fun at his family party and you have fun at his friend party too! So nice that he does want you to come :) Love how your hexies are coming along... glad you are loving the process! Kathi
ReplyDeletewell, yeah, stitching and hockey, what could be more natural!?

Slow progress is better than no progress. Your hexies look great!
ReplyDeleteHave fun at the party! That flower garden quilt is going to be so pretty.
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you mean about not being able to stop with the hexies :) My first quilt was a Grandmother's Flower Garden - it started out as a block, then a few flowers, then a quilt! It took quite a few years, but I didn't mind, and I know you won't either.
ReplyDeleteThey are looking great! :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the party...make those memories while you can! Yes, it was an exciting game...and your guy was the hero for sure!
ReplyDeletei don't do much hand stitching , at 72 my hands want let me but i may just have to try
ReplyDeleteLove the new quilt. And, yes, better go to those parties while you are so welcome. Happy new week!
ReplyDeleteCoolest thing ever to be invited to your grandson's friend party. :) Hope you had a wonderful time!

ReplyDeleteDon't you love how small projects turn into big ones! Your parts look lovely - such pretty fabrics you are working with.
ReplyDeleteI have some KT fabric if you need some... I just love it! Thanks for linking up to Slow Sunday Stitching :)
ReplyDeleteLove that you were invited to the friend party..that won't last! If we didn't enjoy the process, we wouldn't quilt or craft at all, would we? I'm not a hockey fan, but I hope the Blues whoop up on everybody, so that you can have fun watching them!
ReplyDeleteLove your hexies! I know that feeling when you get going on a project and don't really want it to end :).
ReplyDeleteGood Morning my friend, Love this fabric on this quilt. It seems like it will be forever until I am able to pull my fabric out. Our snow is almost gone but we are supposed to get some more this weekend-I'm ready for spring.
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed day!
Hugs,
