My FIL was able to come over late morning and got to see the video of Aidan's graduation from pre-school and then we had a BBQ for lunch. While the kids napped (one napped and one had quiet time) I got to sew on my sewing machine and now have matchstick pairs all set for my Bricks and Cornerstone quilt. The pattern is found here over at Quiltville.com. I think it will get a black or cream small border around and then a blue/black mottled bigger border to finish it off.
I hope to get this one into rows later tonight after some time in the pool with the kids.
Once they are in bed, I get to do some slow stitching on my fireworks wall hanging. I finally started it this week and so far so good. I've got it in a hoop but am still resisting using a thimble.
Head on over to Kathy Quilts and see what other hand work is being worked on today.

Sounds like you had a perfect Father's Day. Bricks and Cornerstones is coming together SO quickly.
I like your colorful Bricks and Cornerstones!
Wonderful Father's Day for you. An added bonus to get some in some time sewing. Hoping you get to use your thimble this evening. ;-)
I love Bonnie's site and that pattern in particular. I like to keep my piecing easy since it is not my strong point. This looks like it could fit the bill.
Can't believe how small your hand stitches are. I can only wish!! I can't get used to a thimble either. You can tell from the callous on the end of my finger!
Bricks and Cornerstones looks great! I hope you were able to get in some hand quilting last night.
OOh you got a lot accomplished! :)
Isn't that quilt pattern such a great stashbuster?!? Love it!
So happy to see you are making progress on your hand quilting! It took me a while to find a thimble I like, and I still keep buying every new kind I see just in case I like it more :)
Thanks for linking up!
Sounds like you've had a busy and productive weekend. I also love nap time!
