The rain is moving in. Again.
But that is okay. It is Sunday. The baseball game is on.
It is a good day for slow stitching.
I plan to finish Block 11 of the Aunt Bea’s Parlor project.
And begin Block 12.
Have a beautiful slow Sunday!

My goal for April was to make eco-friendly shopping bags.
I thought it would be fun to incorporate some orphan blocks into the project.
I used scrap denim and some quilting blocks for the above shopping bags. I wish I would have thought to take the time to quilt the blocks, but I like the bags anyway.
I may have to give this bag to someone with a small child. At least I remembered to add some quilting to the bag. Ha, ha!
The last bag features a hand-painted orphan block. It was a fun little sample to learn some fabric painting techniques, and I am happy to have found a way to use the block!
These bags are durable, can be washed, and used over and over. They are eco-friendly and more fun to use than plastic grocery sacks!

Today is a great day to slow down and let the daffodils bring cheer to your heart.
I have completed block 10 of Aunt Bea’s Parlor.
So I will be stitching on block 11. There are 20 blocks total.
I am halfway finished with the embroidery for this project. If you’d like to see the first six completed blocks, click here.
