Saturday was a very rainy day and I spent it volunteering at a girl scout event. Over 100 girls visited Hogwarts and had a wonderful time despite the weather and some shuffling of outdoor events into inside ones in the space we had. None of my troop went so it was purely a volunteering and helping out day for me. A few photo's of the setup before the wizards arrived... I was in charge of the relay races. They had to find the right keys to unlock the lock, untie the knots, solve a puzzle, roll the dice, find the rock and then race to the trophy.
I finished the hexagon QAYG this week and got a few photo's outside on Thursday morning. The front.
The back of the quilt.
Now that the Hexagon quilt is completed I can get back to hand quilting on the Endless Diamond quilt waiting patiently in the hoop. I hand pieced this top as well so it needed to be hand quilted. I hope to get a few stitches in this later today after picking up the kids from Grandma.... assuming they ever wake up and call her to collect them! She was with Emily yesterday for the traditional lunch and shopping with Grandma for their birthday. Emily will be turning 13 later this week.
Linking up with Kathy and the Slow Sunday Stitchers.

That sounds like quite a day yesterday! And you did it all in the rain! Glad you're getting some sewing time today - good luck with the memory quilt blocks. Hope there's some slow stitching time, too!
sounds like a great day - and I think the color scattered here and there on the back of the quilt looks terrific
Now who had more fun--you or the girls????
Nice projects planned for the week-
I have an embroidery piece I am working on and I really need the pattern to check on a couple things as my drawing had lightened and it's hard for me tell what I am suppose to stitch--wellll--it has taken me 2 days looking through all my patterns--and I can't find it--but my patterns are sorted better and I got rid of some of them--sooo????
and I found 'tons' of projects I want to do--opps!!!
We had a heavy storm Friday morning--broke our record rain fall here and then we had a another heavy rain with wind storm last evening-it rained so hard with the wind blowing that I couldn't even see the lights on in the next apartment building!!!
have fun stitching--hugs, di
Your hexagon quilt is a beauty! We had a tiny bit of rain last week. Now we are getting back into the 80's and 90's this week!
your hexagon quilt is amazing!
Love your platform 9 3/4 :)

The hexi quilt is fabulous. Love the scattering of hexies on the back. I must say the "Hogwarts" day sounds like it was filled with fun, fun, fun!
It sounds like a wonderful day was had by all. Your hexi quilt is gorgeous and I am looking forward to seeing more of the Endless Diamond. Have a great week.
What a fun GS event, Deb! Not even Emily went from your troop?
