Slow Stitching Sunday

 There was no horses yesterday, so no outside time needed in the high temp/humidity thank goodness. Emily will ride Tuesday morning early, before her trainer heads north for a couple of weeks.

I decided to prep more blocks through the Accuquilt cutter for the Flowering Snowball and Shoo Fly blocks. It took about 2 hours to get things selected, pressed and cut to be run thorough the Accuquilt cutter for the shapes needed.  So far, I have no duplicates other than the background! I did 7 more of one block and 6 more of another so I should have 36 blocks when they are done. 6x6 setting = 72x72. I had a lot of blue in the first batch so I added more purple and green this time.

 I might want it bigger, but I'll decide that later. I'm running out of the Kona Eggshell bolt so I might need to order another one if I decide to go bigger. I have not marked the stitching line on them yet, so I might do a little of that today.

I did get almost 2 more blocks stitched up yesterday. I just have one long stitching line to go on the flowering snowball. I have one more block marked for stitching, which will make 23 blocks completed. 


I did get a couple granny squares with their grey surround added. I find I can only do one or two of these at a time now or my hand hurts. Strange, the different muscles used for crochet vs. hand stitching. I have a few more of these to go.

I'll finish up the green flowering snowball and then do a granny square as I finish watching the F1 race this morning.
