Slow Sunday Stitching.....

Time to sit back in my recliner and relax with a little slow stitching! I have had my hand pieced quilt along block #4 cut out since Wednesday and have not marked it for hand piecing yet! That is next on the list after posting this. Then it will be stitching it together tonight to make my 2 blocks before block #5 is released tomorrow.

My day was busy but fun. We headed up to Gainesville to the UF Gater Womens College Basketball game today. Emily was recognized as a Champion with Character and the kids got into the game free and it was only $1 for us adults to tag along. It pays to know someone! The kids had fun - Em was quite nervous to go out on the court but she did good and had fun at the game. They were ahead when I took her down at the end of the first quarter.....and then the other team - South Carolina took over. It didn't take very long to get up there and was a nice ride. The campus is beautiful! We may have gotten there a wee bit early and had to walk around a bit to find food.... but I did hit my 10K in steps! I think there were 7 other kids from our school and a good number of schools represented from the surrounding areas. Some went out onto the court between the 1+2 quarters. Em's group of 8 schools went out at the beginning of half time.



Now to mark my stitching line, put the foot rest up and relax with some slow stitching.

Yay, Emily! Go Gators! I have a few Gators in my family...
Next time you go, take some extra time and go to the Butterfly Rainforest.
