Saturday... Reds and a Horse Show!

For the RSC Challenge - I got all 17 of the red hexagon flowers basted and hand appliquéd onto the 6.5 inch black background. I just need to cut away the black background from the back of the flower and pick out one of the basting stitches.

I hope to pop into the sewing room shortly and work on something.... just not sure what yet. Linking up with the RSC Challenge.

It has been a long week. Aidan was home sick from school Wed-Fri with flu like symptoms. He was better today and went with us to Emily's horse show. He is resting now in his room. Good thing we have a long weekend so he has a couple more days to fully recover before school on Tuesday.

Horse Show - Emily was at her first horse show today. She did good on Prince.... who really wanted to go fast today. She did showmanship first - led him around the ring, then lined up. Walked a straight line to the judges, stopped. The judge walked around her and the horse. Then a 180 degree turn and stop. Then walk a straight line back to the line up. Somehow she placed 1st!


Then  it was wait a couple of hours watching all the others before she did the riding part of the show with her group. Again... Prince wanted to go fast today. She did 3 groups on the horse and placed 3rd, 4th and finished with a 1st place. Not bad for her first horse show.

She enjoyed herself and these red roses were waiting for her when she got home.

Way to go, Em!! Apparently, you're a natural. Here's hoping Mom got some sewing done and that your brother feels better soon!

Sounds like Emily did really well today - even if Prince did want to go fast! Your red hexie flowers look great on their black backgrounds, too!

That's a fantastic result for her first outing! Congratulations Emily. Your hexie flowers are quite striking against their blac background. I'm nearly finished making my hexies.
