Hand Quilt Along, Slow Sunday Stitching

Can't believe another three weeks have passed by, and time for the check-in for the Hand Quilt Along.  This past week has been sort of disjointed.   My mornings are taken up transporting my two youngest grandkids to their cousin's house where they finish up there school day working on assignments.  I have also tried working in the yard each morning before my chauffer duties as we have been having beautifully cooler weather in the 70's to 80's so I am able to work outside a little longer.  I am still trying to get the bushes trimmed and gutters cleaned out before we start getting our rain.   I love this time of year when it is cooler and I'm able to spend more time outside.  

I have also had three days this week with migraines that have put me out of commission all together, other than giving the kids a ride.  This time of year is bad for my migraines.

This piece is coming along very slowly, as I have it in the car, and work on it while I am waiting for the kids to come out.

I also finished last month's Cassandra's Circle block from Civil War Quilts.  

This week my slow stitching project will be Kathy Schmitz's embroidery from the One Stitch at a Time Club.

This Hand Quilt Along is an opportunity for hand quilters and piecers to share and motivate one another. We post every three weeks, to show our progress and encourage one another.  If you have a hand quilting project and would like to join our group contact Kathy at the link below.

Out in my garden this week, my sunflowers got so top-heavy I had to hook them to the fence!  That is all on one stalk!

This dahlia continues to bloom.

I have some little lizards that live in my yard.  They hang out on my porches sunning themselves, and run along my brick pathway when I walk outside.  I've even seen some babies that are about 1.5 inches long!   This guy today didn't even run away from me when I walked outside, just sat watching to see what I was going to do.  

This weekend is a special one for me.  My birthday is on Monday, and Saturday grandson Keaton came over to mow my lawn along with daughter Kristen.  Sunday I expect daughters Katie, Kristen and most of my grandchildren to come over to celebrate my birthday.  This one will be a big one, 70, hard to believe!    I will love having most all of my loved ones here and I will be in heaven.   

Thanks so much for stopping by, and have a great week!
