Slow Sunday Stitching

This past week was less hectic.  I did have two board meetings on Tuesday, the Begonia Board Meeting, and the Quilt Guild Board Meeting where I serve on the Community Service section.  Basically the rest of the week was my own.  My daughter Kristen and I have been participating in two water exercise classes at an indoor pool, an aqua yoga, and a Shallow Water H20 class with exercises.  I have been feeling somewhat better participating in these, along the walking I do with some neighborhood friends 4-5 times per week.  

This week was grandson Keaton's 18th birthday.  With him being out of state at college, this was the first birthday I haven't been able to celebrate with him.  

This week I worked on a Christmas gift for a secret quilting sister.  It is a Flora Supply Case by Clover and Violet.  I made one of these before, and my sister-in-law Char said she could use one, so I gave her mine.  It is a zippered pouch with mesh and fabric pockets.  

The original pattern had 2.5 inch squares for the cover, but I had a ton of hexies I was itching to use.  This will be the cover of my secret quilting sister.  I plan to make one for me too, but I need make some more hexies.

This week I also worked on my 3 yard quilt.   The members of our guild were challenged to making a 3 yard quilt for Community Service.   The Programs directors had packaged together yards of three different fabrics and we chose which one we wanted.  I have had mine done since the last day camp, I just needed to quilt it.  I got it done this week and got the binding on. One of the things I will be doing for Slow Sunday Stitching is sewing the binding down.  

I also will be working on my Witch Hazel.  I don't have that much more to do.   

Saturday daughter Katie and I worked the Begonia booth at a local plant show.  It is hard to work with all the plants sitting around you and not purchasing anything.   There was a succulent booth across from us, and I also bought a cactus.

Daughter Kristen came down to check out the plants too.

Afterwards Katie and I went to lunch and had an excellent salad.

Our weather has been record-breaking high still, and I haven't gotten much work done in the yard, little to none, and there is no end in sight yet to the hot weather.

I will be linking up to Kathy's Quilts for Slow Sunday Stitching.  Head on over and check what everyone is working on.  

Thanks for stopping by!
