My slow stitching last night was hand stitching a binding finish! I started free motion quilting it last week but it was not going well. I think the machine needs a spa day for cleaning. I pulled that all out and just did a walking foot wiggle on it Saturday. While Emily was playing with her half square triangles.... I was able to make the blue binding and press it. I quickly attached it after baths and reading last night. Since this is a little quilt (43x33) I was able to finish the hand stitching of the binding last night.
That leaves some appliqué for today's slow stitching. I have two more blocks prepped for the 1857 quilt.
A few mice are back basted and ready for needle turn applique.
Head on over and see what others are slowly stitching today at
Kathy's Slow Sunday Linky party.

Congrats on the finish!
Enjoy your mice and leaves today :)
Great projects to keep you creating this weekend...enjoy!
I love the look of samplers - I have not tried back basteing aplique- is it good for beginners to learn?
Like the quilt! Always feels good to finish one. Good for you.
Love your quilty finish from last night... sorry the fmq wasn't working for you but I like the wiggle too... enjoy your other projects today :) Kathi
Lots of hand stitching accomplished this weekend. A cleaned machine is a good thing.
Congratulations on getting finished, even if your machine wasn't cooperating. Enjoy your peaceful applique.
That's quite a lot for slow stitching! Your quilt turned out so well and those mice are beyond cute.
