Slow Sunday stitching...

Well, this 4 day weekend was not what I planned at all! Other than a very yummy and juicy Turkey Thursday with all the fixings, it was a putter around the house with a head cold type of weekend. Sigh. So far - the boy is fine. Emily had it last weekend and is all better. Greg and I are 'sharing' the head cold from Emily. 
I do have a memory quilt I have promised to have done for Christmas so I will be cutting out more squares and strips from clothing provided to prep for that. I have a plan and now that I made the initial cut I am more confident in it.

When I am resting from that.... I'll be adding some stitches to my quilt as you go hexagons in browns for November.


Then I'll start some hand quilting on the Endless Diamond quilt. I pinned it when I pinned something else last month and it has just been waiting patiently for me to finish off Snowman and Silent Night.  This one is completely hand pieced from a template I created based on a photo of a quilt I saw. You can read about my adventure with this quilt under the Endless Diamond Tab.


Linking up with the other slow stitchers on this sunny Sunday in Florida.

Sorry to hear about the head colds - that's no fun on a holiday weekend. Good you feel like sewing, though! I'll enjoy watching you quilt the Endless Diamonds. I'm ready to get back to quilting on the trip around the world quilt. Hope you're having a good Sunday!

Sorry about the head colds. I had one last weekend, and took a lot of Zicam and other stuff to get rid of it. Thankfully it was done before Thanksgiving. Your Endless Diamonds is gorgeous, great work!

What a crummy time for a head cold! Glad that you were able to enjoy the turkey day though. Maybe there was enough leftover for a yummy turkey noodle soup? Just what the doctor ordered.
