Sunday...

Eventually I will get some slow stitching time today. Aidan got 2 free tickets from his teacher for him and Emily to attend an event at a local state park where they are showing the art of Knapping with the Silver River Knapp in.  As in Flint knapping - making tools from stone. There will be all kinds of historical things there and it includes entrance to the museum and state park with trails and the Silver River. The kids go there in 4th and 5th grades for science and social studies trips. 


Hopefully some time will be allowed to stitch down these peels for one of the Ella Maria Deacon blocks.


I'd also love to finish the hand quilting in the green so I can do the final roll of this quilt today.


Linking up with the other Slow Sunday Stitchers.

my older daughter loved doing flint knapping when was a kid had a chance. I bet the kids will like that. what do you have on the back of the orange peels a foundation of some type? are the edges glued under or pressed only. I wish I had done a foundation of some sort and pressed my edges under when I made one years ago instead of the piecing that I did instead of applique

That sounds like an interesting event to attend! Hope you do have some time for your stitching, too. Those orange peels for the EMD block must be tiny - they make a neat design!

That sounds like an interesting event! I never knew it was Knapping. Your trip around the world always catches my eye. There's a little applique in my afternoon too!

Hope you were able to find stitching time and work on those peels. I’m contemplating making some.
