Slow Sunday Stitching

I have finished stitching Farm Girl.

Farm Girl

She is washed and pressed.

Farm Girl finishes at 4.5″.

I need to find a suitable frame and then she will be ready for gifting.

At 7:30 am, it is dark and eerie, and it will stay that way all day.  I live in Washington state, so I am currently living under cover of thick smoke.  There is no going outside, except to work and back.  No work today, so I get to be home all day!  Yay!

Since Farm Girl is finished, I will consider my slow Sunday project to be free motion quilting on the Let’s Sew quilt.  I am certainly slow at it!

But I am making progress!

Slow Sunday Stitching

A small amount of hand work happened on the Farm Girl stitchery since last Sunday.

Good thing that there is no hurry.  Or what would be the point to a relaxing slow Sunday?

I plan on a slow Sunday drive today, so may not stitch.  Sometimes one just needs to get out and enjoy the view.

Meanwhile…remember this?

I haven’t forgotten either.

So in spite of the heat and the day job, I have been working on free motion quilting.

I hope to finish this project soon.  I’ll show better photos then.

Vintage Ornaments Finished

I am happy to share a finish before the end of the year!

Vintage Ornaments is now a completed quilt!  

I have a few close pictures of the machine quilting for you.  I have used decorative quilting, and background filler quilting (to show off the ornaments).

Except for the binding, this was a fun project!  I have trouble sewing a binding on completely by machine.  I need more practice…especially with the corners!  If anyone has tips for me, please share!  Meanwhile, I will keep practicing, and, who knows, maybe one day I will master it!
