| Last week I finished three branches and had started the fourth! |
 |
| This week's progress with seven branches completed! |
During the afternoons I have been trying to get in some hand quilting stitches. It is so nice to sit and enjoy some stitches once I get all the "have to" things done around the house. I have one block completely done on Baltimore Garden and have marked another so there is plenty of stitches that needs to get done this week.
I hope you can enjoy some "me" time and put in a few slow stitches. I think it is so important in this busy world to take some time for ourselves. I am linking up to Slow Stitching Sunday where other slow stitchers will link their wonderful projects. I love taking time out of my stitching to see what others around the world are stitching! Hope that you will join us!
From your title, I thought I was going to see some beautiful fall pics of Nature. Instead I see beautiful leaves from Carla. Very nice. Love your hand quilting too.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for stopping by and taking the time to comment! Love stitching every day such a joy
Deletewell YOUR leaves are not in drought that is for sure...growing by leaps and bounds :)
ReplyDeleteLove the hand quilting!
Thanks Deb! Amazing how a simple shape can be so much fun!
DeleteYour hand stitching is wonderful--it's going to be an awesome quilt! Love your progress on the leaves too!
ReplyDeleteThanks, well album quilts seem to call for a bit more attention, but I think it will be worth the effort.
DeleteI completely agree on taking time for ourselves in this fast paced world. I think I'll get a few stitches in while I watch the floors dry =)
ReplyDeleteYou never waste a minute! Thanks for stopping by today
DeleteAll the beautiful leaves are inside your house! Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up and contributing to a wonderful Slow Sunday Stitching!
Thanks Kathy! Thank you for hosting each Sunday, I really enjoy seeing all the different projects!
DeleteYour trailing vines is so pretty, the finished quilt will be beautiful. I really like your Baltimore Garden quilt too, lovely quilting. I'm not very good at quilting in a hoop.
ReplyDeleteThanks! It took a lot of practicing to get comfortable with hand quilting, but I was determined to learn. Thanks for stopping by
DeleteI love the leaves. They are beautiful
ReplyDeleteThanks! I am having a lot of fun with them.
DeleteThe trailing vines are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and for your sweet comment
DeleteBeautiful applique!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I learned to applique cause I love hand quilting appliqued quilts Now I am addicted to both!
DeleteThe leave outside. Isn't not be very colorful or pretty but the leaves inside certainly are! And your Baltimore Garden is coming along - your quilting stitches are superb!
ReplyDeleteYou are so right Kathy! I sure am enjoy stitching them.
DeleteOh my, those are lots of leaves. I have not yet attempted FPA. Your Baltimore Garden is lovely. I'm trying to do some stitching every day.
ReplyDeleteI used to mark the seam lines but than tried just leaving the freezer paper on top and really liked not having to mark the seam lines. I enjoy stitching daily too!
DeleteYour Baltimore block looks just wonderful with your hand quilting! and I love the vines. Happy stitching :)
ReplyDeleteSo glad to have finally started Baltimore Garden, feels so good to be hand quilting. The vines are growing in the evening when the light is not quite as good. It's so much fun to have so much hand work in the works.
DeleteYour vine is looking good. Will be a wonderful quilt
ReplyDeleteThanks! I just love using the bits of scraps and seeing how each branch turns out!
DeleteLoving your vine leaves
ReplyDeleteThanks Wendy!
DeleteBeautiful! Lots of trees around here are stressed too. Hopefully, they will be ok in the spring.
ReplyDeleteThat is what I am hoping! We have gotten two very short lived showers but I am sure the grass is at last thankful, not sure it helps the trees much!
DeleteYou are steaming through those vines! Very inspiring. I love the Baltimore quilting. It seems that all of my stitching lately is "slow" so I guess I should try to link up tot the slow stitching Sunday as well. Thanks for sharing your "lovely" progress.
ReplyDeleteYou should join us! It is nice to take little breaks and see how everyone's projects are coming along! We all understand it's not about speed but about the journey
DeleteThose leaves look rather addictive. And it's so nice to see all that beautiful quilting on Baltimore Garden. I'll bet you are glad to see that progress.
ReplyDeleteIt's been beautiful weather here too the last couple of days so I sat out on the deck and enjoyed some time quilting and talking to husband about next year's garden.
I am so glad to finally have started the quilting on BG. So many stitches in this quilt but it will be worth it. The leaves are a bit addictive!
DeleteAll those little bits of time clearly add up - you are making great progress. The vines are beautiful: I think I would be quite happy just to have one of those strips up on my wall.
ReplyDeleteI just love them too! Dreaming about when I get all of the strips done!
Deleteso pretty are your leaves and your applique work also....thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteYour Baltimore Garden block is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYou will have that leave quilt top done in NO time at all. I can't believe all you have done already. And the Baltimore Garden as well....your quilting is lovely. It too will be finished quickly.
ReplyDeleteI love love love those colourful leaves!!!! I try to get some stitching in most days. I find it helps to keep me relaxed and relieve stress. Have fun stitching this week!
