That means a little grocery shopping (I am going back on the Atkins to see about kick start loosing the next 10 pounds over the next few months) and then sewing time! I really need to get back to my routine of walking morning and night as well.
I want to machine stitch the last dresden to it's row so I can hand stitch the back together tonight. If it goes well.... I'll also prep the 3 rows already done and get them ready to hand stitch the back as well. As long as I remember to read my tutorial I should be fine!
I did a little tumbler hand stitching last night while watching Hotel Transylvania with the kids. I did get a row stitched on Wednesday while at gymnastics with Emily too - well mostly done and finished up that evening. 4 rows completed of 16 with row 5 started. I should probably start sewing the rows of 20 tumblers together as well. These are my hand piecing project using almost 5 inch squares cut to a tumbler shape. I estimate the 16 rows of 20 tumblers will be about 72 inches square.
If time.... after playing with some red scraps I might try and pin the baby hearts quilt for hand quilting. Baby has arrived so I really need to get that quilt finished and shipped to it's owner!

Love the cat you made from a previous post! Looks like a lot of work. I need to concentrate on what I eat also. It's so hard but must be done. Watching the carbs sure does seem to be the most successful way. Can't wait to see how your tumbler quilt comes together. I have a new box of small scraps that might make a cute tumbler table topper. You got me thinking.
Kitty likes your work too!
Your tumbler quilt looks like a great take-along project, and it sounds like you're making lots of progress on it! Enjoy your quiet Sunday!
You have a pretty adorable quilt inspector there!
it looks great - it is nice to put the kids in day camps sometimes I think - it gives them something to do and interact with the other kids instead of just sitting home sometimes being bored.
I remember that stage very well... when the kids are "bored" and the summer holidays seem endless to moms and kids!!
Hope you get some stitching time...love the tumbler project that you're hand piecing!
You should get more done when the kids are occupied. The tumblers are pretty. Kitty looks like a good helper.
Enjoy your sewing time! I look forward to seeing what progress you make. Thanks for linking up with Oh Scrap!
I work 5 hours a day from home.... so not as much sewing time as you would expect this week.
