Slow Sunday Stitching

This has been another busy week.  I spent the first part of the week working on my yard.  I was finally able to get the weeds controlled on my brick patio.  It took me 4 days to get it cut back, plus I was able to mow the back lawn and side yard weeds. I still have some flower beds to weed, but it is in much better shape.  

I was even able to get the weeds off the brick pathway going down the side of the house.  This is where I have a lot of my succulents and Cymbidium orchids, and a few herbs.  If I plant dill or cilantro in the ground the snails munch them up.  So I have them in pots up high!  

This week my irises have bloomed , and I think it is a Japanese lilac.  

Last Tuesday was John's BD so all my family that is in town, including 2 daughters and SIL's, 3 of the grandchildren went to John's favorite Mexican restaurant and enjoyed a great meal, with may stories of John being told.

Wednesday was quilt guild meeting and it was nice, and Friday I got together with my mini group.  

This week I took that challenge baggie of fabrics I received from the guild to make items from.  I cut out a simple quilt that will be going to someone undergoing dialysis in our area.  

I showed the people in my guild a picture of the top.  When I got home looking at it again, I realized that I had put this together wrong.  Those brown rectangles should all be on the right side.  

I also made a table runner, which I plan to applique some leaves and maybe pumpkins scattered across it.  

I am participating in the Hands2Help Comfort Quilt Challenge again this year.  I cut out several small quilts for this.  One of them is with the tumbler die from Accuquilt.  

My daughter reminded me that our hairdresser's BD is coming up this month.  Muna has been my hairdresser since she graduated from beauty college and Katie was 6 months old.  Muna loves flamingos, so I made her a Flamingo mug rug.  

This week for Slow Sunday Stitching this week, I will be ripping out part of that quilt top that is put together wrong.  I will also be finishing up this Kathy Schmitz stitchery.  

I'll be linking up for Slow Sunday Stitching at Kathy's Quilts.  Head on over and check out what everyone has been up to.  

I came across this in Facebook this week.  

Thanks for stopping by!
