Hand Quilt Along, Slow Sunday Stitching

It's been a whirlwind week for me.  In addition to my regular singing practice, and quilt pin basting I have had a lot more outside activities.  

Most of the family attended granddaughter Klara's school performance of Starstruck.  Each of the grades, plus the teachers had a dance number with a different tune from a movie  Klara's third grade class performed "Life is a Highway" from the Cars movie.  

Wednesday was my birthday and and the quilters that were at basting day took me to lunch at Panera.   Then that evening my family took me to our favorite Mexican place.  Grandson Jaeger, the slightly taller one, on the right, flew in from a New Mexico for a short break from college.  

Thursday another friend took me to brunch.  Then Thursday night my 2 daughters planned a painting party for me, it included a couple of my daughters friends, granddaughter Kyleigh, Jandra who is her boyfriend Drew's grandmother, and Victoria Drew's mother.  It was such a fun evening.  We got to chose what project we wanted to work on.  When we arrived they had our wooden boards prepared, and the stencils cut out.   We weeded out the remaining parts on the stencils and then painted our boards.

They had tons of projects you could choose from

This was my completed project.  

Friday Kyleigh, Jandra and Victoria and I went to lunch too for my birthday.  Needless to say, I have had a lot of leftovers in my frig, and never felt so loved.  

Saturday night was grandson Keaton's high school prom at his school.   Keaton and Addie make such a cute couple.  They are juniors in high school.  

This week I also received my choices for the $50 gift card I got One Of The Flock, who have a great Etsy shop with wools, felts and all sorts of great kits.  I won this on the Autumn Jubilee going on at From My Carolina Home.    I really appreciate their generosity in this prize.  

For slow stitching this week, I will be working on my woolie gnome project, and putting binding and hand sewing it down on my brother Bill's quilt.  This is going to take awhile I think.

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.
