It's Sunday.... which means slow stitching today!

Kathy reminds us each Sunday to relax with some slow stitching and remember to breathe. It is a nice reminder each week to sit back, relax and reflect on the positives from the week.
I finished off an appliqué block this week for the Century Quilt and have two more left to go before this quilt can be put together into a top. I plan to start prepping one of these for appliqué later this evening.

While relaxing after the kids are in bed tonight I plan to add this last row of hexie flowers onto the spring flowers quilt. I had planned to do some more hexagon's for the border... but this pretty batik arrived in the mail this week from Kathi over at KCDesigns and I may incorporate that into the border instead. We'll see what happens over the next week. Thanks so much Kathi for such a beautiful fabric surprise in the mail.

Head on over to Kathy's Quilts to see lots of other amazing slow stitching projects today. Now I am off to work for a few hours. I do love my short 4 hour days at the store on Sunday. Will call you later this evening Mom =).

I'm not normally much of a fan of batiks, but I *do* love that batik that Kathi sent you!! Yum!

The fabric Kathi sent is a great complement to the rest of the quilt!

Your hexie quilt is coming along nicely. The batik looks like it might be a nice complement. You will need to audition it to be sure.

Oh that blue is perfect for a border it picks up a lot of the colors in the flowers. It is always fun to start another applique block, but I hate the prep work. It usually isn't that bad, if I just relax sit down and let myself enjoy it. I guess it is just the thought of starting it and the time it takes

Those are beautiful hand-project you have going. Love the blue fabric but if you put it all around the quilt, won't it steal the show? Just saying. Enjoy your slow stitching evening.

That fabric is perfect for a border!!
ENjoy your slow stitching today!

Debbie said...

I love your hexies...your flowers are very modern with the white as such a predominant color. That batik might just be the perfect binding to set it off.
