I am looking forward to peace and quiet (kids have gone to Grandma's for the day and are doing a double kid sleepover tonight!). The house was cleaned up yesterday so today I can just relax and sew.
I have a few 2 inch pink squares to add to this trip around the world. It is currently around 48 inches square. The next round is a nice lime green. I might add an orange round after before the yellow and blue... we will see. After so much appliqué lately (1857 album quilt and my baskets in July) it is so nice to do some hand piecing.
I also plan to add a few threads of hand quilting into the Trip on the frame. This one was had pieced using 2.5 inch squares and went with the RSC Challenge color of the month a few years ago. It has been neglected for far too many months. Time to start working on it again a little each evening.
Linking up with like minded people over at
Slow Sunday Stitching... where Kathy reminds us to breathe slowly while putting in one stitch at a time.

Enjoy your kid free day. With the house already clean, it sounds like you have no choice except to get lots of quality stitching time in. Hope you enjoy every minute.
It's been fun to watch your hand-pieced Trip evolve - that's a lot of hand piecing!
this is lovely...raining here, a snooze-ey kind of afternoon for sure...hugs, Julierose
You have some great stitching to enjoy today. I love seeing the Trip Around the World grow.
You have some nice stitching to work on and I remember as a young mom how nice it was to get breaks ( Love the kids but peace and quiet were loved as well :)
Lovely projects for an afternoon of slow stitching.
Both projects are beautiful. I really like that rainbow trip around the world quilt. Happy stitching this weekend.
Hope you enjoy every minute.
