A day off to putter....

Ok, technically yesterday was a day off as well but other than power washing for a few hours and reading a book for a few hours I have no clue what happened to the rest of the day!

Today..... some reading has happened. Something about cats meowing for food relentlessly .... so I had to get up and feed them. It was reading time after that. I have to deliver one child to Grandma this morning and she will return 2. Emily needed a dog fix and asked for a sleepover which Grandma was oh too happy to have!

My plans today are to pin a quilt. Does that count at all as 'slow stitching'? I plan to machine quilt it but if the prep work is done it is so much easier to take some time here and there to get it quilted this week in bits of time.


I plan to read a little more on the back porch today and finally start hand quilting on the bumpershoots/umbrella quilt. I really need a name for this one. Any ideas for me? I'm going to outline the umbrellas and then do some 'falling rain' with raindrops. I have a picture in my head and we will see how it looks on the quilt today.



Linking up with Kathy and the other slow stitchers.

wasn't there a song back in the 70-80's called "Raindrops Falling on my Head" can't think who sung it but it keeps playing in my mind now lol

I think pinning a quilt should count as slow stitching - at least it's a slow process at my house! I'll enjoy seeing how you quilt your umbrellas. I think your other commenters had some great ideas for names! Enjoy your day, Deb!

I love the quilt with the cat sitting on it. Always the way with cats - they come to investigate the minute you put something on the floor.

I really like the umbrellas too

I so love your umbrella quilt! I also like the title, "Dancing in the Rain", as they appear to be dancing! Enjoying following your progress!
