Hubby put a Netflix box on the tv in the bedroom since the Dish Netflix takes forever to load and was frustrating me since the remote was not working well with pause and play. I am watching Hart of Dixie while quilting this. There are 4 seasons and I am still on season 1. Each episode is 41 minutes - a good amount of quilting time.
Kathy has asked us to share photo's of our hoops used in hand work.
I currently have my light blue Dresden block in my round plastic hoop I purchased at Joann's years ago. I love this one. It is 13 or 14 inches and I am able to get my hands around and under it without it being too bulky. It fits a 12 inch square in there perfectly for quilting. I have a bigger oval one but it never gets used as it is not comfy to use in my recliner and my arms just can't get over and around it nicely.Maybe if it was on a stand it would be better? I also have this plastic square one but I don't like how it feels when trying to quilt on it. I have used it to quilt the edges of a quilt when the round one just doesn't work well though.
In other news... this one has stopped eating. She has been wheezing for a few weeks but now food is not interesting her. She has an appointment at the vet tomorrow morning. We will see what they say. They are 13 years old. Hopefully it is just a sore tooth but I have a bad feeling it is something else. She has been getting extra cuddles from me lately.
Linking up with Kathy's Quilts with all the other slow Sunday Stitchers in the World.

I hope the vet can do something to make your cat feel better. Your quilting is coming along . I love seeing everyone’s quilting projects each week through Kathy’s blog.
Ah poor kitty. Hope she gets better ; that the vet can help.
you sound like me - I have a standing frame also but it is folded up and packed away in the workshop in storage as I can not sit comfortable to use the darn thing. I have to watch netflix or something to when I sit and quilt at the frame - it does seem to make the time flow better
So exciting to turn the quilt to the next section for hand quilting!
Thanks for sharing about your favourite hoops!
Happy Slow Sunday Stitching!
Your trip around the world is amazing! (I love the quilt in your banner too!) I hope kitty is ok.
Blue Dresden is pretty!
I love to listen to podcasts or netflix when I am behind the machine or hand quilting. Just finished The Crown which was excellent!
Hoping the cat has something treatable. Always sad when a friend isn't feeling well. Nice progress on your hand quilting. Hopefully it will be done before your season is over.
I hope you get good news at the vet. Your quilt is coming along wonderfully. I like your hoops.
Your cover quilt photo is absolutely gorgeous! The fuzzy ones are such dear family members too. Hoping for good news at the Vet.
Your poor kitty. I hope it's just a tooth, too, and not something worse. Pets become such dear friends, it's hard to see them sick.
I love the quilt in your header. The colors are so beautiful together.
I use a 14" hoop, too, but it's one of the cheap wooden ones from JoAnn. I've tried others but they were too heavy or too large.
Thank you! The cover quilt is a free pattern over at canuckquilter.com under her tutorial tab.
Hopefully Kitty Kat is not too unwell. Again, I’m in awe of you who hand quilt.
