Tonight's post will be short and sweet as it has been a busy, but wonderful day!
We went to church, out to eat and then my husband surprised me with a new bottle of fancy perfume! Wow!
Just as I was cuddling in bed for a nap, my daughter called asking if I could watch Baby C - the two year old. They were taking the oldest kiddos to a movie and Baby C needed a nap.....well yeah!
There's almost nothing better than napping with a baby!

Slow Stitching
I've made quite a bit of progress on my Around the House Stitching by Wild Olive! Because this is all hand sewn, I believe I just may try hand quilting this one. I've tried machine quilting, but don't really enjoy it. Maybe hand quilting is more my cup of tea. We'll see.....I've never done it before so I may practice on some coasters first.
Linking up to Slow Stitching Sundays and Sharing Sundays - if I'm not too late! :0
Plus, I finished the top, backing and piecing the baby quilt! Quilting the sandwich is definitely not my thing, so my daughter generously offered to quilt it for me! Yeah!
Dear Friend, this is my truth!
Love the emboridery blocks this is going to be so cute when done. The baby quilt top is lovely and will be a beautiful quilt when done.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Deb! I'm planning to hand quilt the embroidery project - my first major hand quilting every!
DeleteNice job on your embroidery blocks. That is going to be a really cute quilt. I also like the pink, gray and black colors in the baby quilt. Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! Both projects have been fun to work on!
DeleteBaby cuddles are the best! Our youngest grandbaby turns two on Saturday, but she's still a snuggly napper and I love to rock her to sleep on a Sunday afternoon! Your embroidery blocks are a LOT of fun -- I hope you enjoyed your slow stitching and a happy weekend! :)
ReplyDeleteAhhh! And I bet your grandbaby loves to be rocked as well! Yes, I have truly enjoyed my slow stitching! Take good care! :) Happy Sunday naps!
DeleteWhat great embroidery! Thank you for sharing.
