Slow Sunday....

Sunday. I'll be resting in my recliner today I think. I might drop Emily off to a birthday party.... or I might have hubby drop her. Depends on how the toast for breakfast sits. I seem to have some sort of stomach bug... which better be gone before I travel next weekend.
I'll prep some more tumblers on the left to their tumbler size and then mark them all for hand stitching.



 These will make up the last 2 rows for the tumbler quilt. The first 8 rows are hand sewn together. The rest are hand sewn in sets of 2. I'm wishing now I had made it more green and less cream.. but that is how things work out sometimes!



I love the advise/recommendation of fellow bloggers. I just need more practice adding those tea towels to the edge to make it fit in the hoop on the edge! I seem to have missed the top of the quilt... I will be working on this heart in the corner today and hopefully a few other blocks along the edge, since those are the ones left for quilting. Linking up with Slow Sunday Stitching and Oh Scrap.


This was my entertainment this morning - Ollie and Peanut were playing on the floor by my recliner. The kids were building with lincoln logs on Friday night and Saturday morning - we did have an Ollie and Peanut tornado demolish the buildings - it was rather amusing watching them jump when they crashed!


Aidan went with us to Emily's group horse lesson on Friday. He was out petting the horses in the fields while she rode. These two were following him along the fence until he stopped and rubbed their noses. I nixed his flip flops so he found Dad's boots to wear around the barn. Hard to believe at age 10 his feet are just one size smaller than his dad and are bigger than mine already!

You're really making progress on your tumblers! Do you mark the 1/4 inch seam allowance? Hope some recliner stitching time does the trick for you today!

Yes! I use a ruler and draw a line 1/4 in from the edge all around. That is my stitch line. Easy peasy.

I have been in the mood to make another tumbler quilt. I like your color choices. Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap!

I hadn't seen the idea with the tea towels. Thanks for sharing 'cause it's a hint that I'm sure I'll use. I love the picture of the cats.

Your Scrappy Tumbler quilt is looking lovely. How nice to be sitting in your recliner enjoying some slow stitching whilst you watch the antics of your Ollie and Peanut. Enjoy!
