Today, I will be joining Kathy and the other bloggers that will link up and share their slow stitching projects. I got a good start on my last block for Baltimore Garden last week. A few more leaves to applique then I will get to some of those softly curved stems. I love putting in those applique stitches each one getting me closer to finishing this block. I am getting a bit excited about starting the borders. I have never done a swag border and I just love doing something new and different.
It is good to get back into the old routine after being out of town! But, it was fun to get away for a few days. My husband is such a sweetheart and one day he suggested we find a quilt shop so that I could do a little shopping. I discovered the Rabbit's Lair in Rogers, Arkansas. It is located in a part of town that has been refurbished but still has that old time charm. They had large cabinets on each wall with drawers pulled out filled with fat quarters. So I just couldn't resist getting a few!
A few weeks ago I won some beautiful squares of fabrics from Kathy over at Inspired by Antique Quilts. The deal was to make two mini's and share one with a friend. I hope to spend a little time today finishing up the hand quilting on these. One of these will go on my mini wall and one will go to my friend Rita. We both chose this green border so the two little quilts are identical. I had a lot of fun making both of them! Hope you can find some time today to reflect on your week and enjoy some slow stitches!
