Slow Sunday.....

It looks like a nice day to sit on the back porch and do a little stitching as I wait for family to arrive from up north (after I do a deep vacuum of the house to try and get cat hair up for the allergic people arriving!). The kids are out there right now playing with their kinetic sand....

I have the units for the hand pieced quilt along block #5 made..... I just need to trim them, then stitch them together. I get to do it all over again since I am making 2 each of the blocks so I can make the quilt a little bigger. I have the second set cut out... just need to mark and stitch them together.

Emily decided it was movie night last night and I had to pay attention to the movie... so I can knit and still watch (I can't with hand stitching) so this yellow dish cloth was started as well. I think I can knit this pattern in my sleep so it was perfect for movie watching. [Cast on 4, knit, turn, start of row - knit first 2 stitches, yarn over, knit to the end. Turn and repeat until you are at around 50 stitches. Then you decrease - knit, knit 2 together, yarn over, knit 2 together and then knit to the end of the row. When you are down to 4 stitches, cast off.] I did the blue one last week in the bus on the way to and from St. Augustine with the 4th graders.


We watched Cats and Dogs, the revenge of Kitty Gallore. It was a cute movie!

Linking up with the other slow stitchers today over at Kathy's Quilts.

You are very good at squeezing sewing time in whenever you can. :) Last night was movie night at our house too - we watched Deadpool 1 and 2 - more my husband's type of movie.

You are doing so well at keeping up with the hand piecing project with not one but TWO blocks each week! The knitted cloths are a great idea!
Enjoy your hand stitching today!

Your 5th block is looking good! I might have mentioned this before, but I love that blue print! Enjoy your family and maybe some stitching today, too.

I love the star block you are working on - a whole quilt of those would be gorgeous. I've used that knitting pattern for dishcloths - easy but looks nice. Enjoy the family visiting. ~Jeanne

The dish cloths are the perfect TV movie project!

Oh I love the dishcloths, it's been ages since I made some of them... just looking at them makes me want to start a new project... :) xx
