Slow stitching....

Tuesday was my first day of drop off for Aidan and having Emily to myself for the morning. Three hours goes by quickly but we did a bunch of things. I had her busy with paper, glue and yarn while I prepped some applique. A little stitching here and there and I have this much done on my midget block.

Since I can't seem to find my embroidery floss, I think I'll hit Joann's with the block and see if I can find something to match the green after work tonight. Then I can finish this one with the stems it calls for. It will look more like two tulips after that part is done.

I also traced out all the parts for the Quilt Square Along Block - the first pattern set with the applique. I had pieced all the other parts but had not done the applique yet. I cut most of them out yesterday during bath time with the kids. After waking up around 3AM... I decided to prep some of them so all the green leaves are set for stitching down.  Then I picked up the Kindle and was reading my current book - 'Wild Goose Chase'. I hope being up for the day so early does not make me too tired later when I get into work this afternoon. I see lots of coffee in my future - good thing Emmy has made me 2 cups already this morning.
Have a great sewing day.
