Bernie had someone take a picture while she got a better one outside than I did. Brought joy to my week getting out of the house!
Time to check in with Hand Quilt Along and Slow Sunday Stitching. I continue to work on my Stitching Sunshine project and can't show that.
I didn't get too far on the embroidery last week, I think I am at the same place I was. This was an iron-on by Stitcher's Revolution.
But today I prepped one of the Ella Maria Duncan blocks, and am ready to applique it down. I dreaded doing it, and it was not a problem at all. I still have 2 more blocks to get done so I can be ready for the June blocks coming out shortly.
Another of my favorite plants is back. This is a trumpet vine, which I have maintained more like a bush. The hummingbirds and bees love the orange flowers. It just got the flowers out this week.
The hydrangeas are hanging in there, even despite our 102-103 degree weather this week.
Check out the Hand Quilt Along links below and see what everyone has been up to.
I will also be linking up to Kathy's Quilts for Slow Sunday Stitching, another good place for weekly motivation.

ReplyDeleteIt is lovely to see your smiling face while out with your quilting friend. How wonderful you are now able to be out and about. The quilt you donated is lovely and as for your dresden, it is perfect....love the colour. Your hydrangeas are beautiful...so pretty with the variance in the shades. Your trumpet vine/bush must smell divine. Sweet that the hummingbirds and bees love it too.
ReplyDeleteYour blue and red block is lovely. Such a nice pattern
ReplyDeleteThe patriotic star quilt is a good one. I like the setting and the variety of size and pattern stars. And love the stitchery. Oh how true!
ReplyDeleteHow nice you were able to get out and spend time with another quilter!
ReplyDeleteI love your embroidery block and your red and blue for the EMD quilt is lovely.
Gosh, you've had really hot weather! I'm so grateful for air conditioning.
Hi there! It was so nice for me to get out too! We will do it again soon. Have a great evening Karrin. :-)
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful quilt and lovely that you got to catch up with another quilter... love your dresden too! xx
ReplyDeleteHow nice to see you Karrin. And I understand how great it is to get out of the house. Beautiful quilts and blocks...love that dresden too. And of course, I always love to see embroidery. Happy Stitching!
ReplyDeleteHow fun to meet Bernie! Of course, it would be fun to meet YOU, too, after all these years. BTW, I have a top like yours, LOL. And I’ve been covering those embroidery blocks too (I think you posted a link once). I’ve started back doing some embroidery now that carpal tunnel isn’t an issue, and those blocks may be my next purchase. xo
