Slow Sunday Stitching

It has been a couple of weeks since I  last posted, but figured I had better check in on this last Slow Sunday Stitching of 2024.  The past week was full of family activities.  Both my grandsons were home from college.   My daughter Kristen for many years hosted French exchange students in the summer, and one of those students, Martin asked to spend Christmas this year with us.  He is a pilot, and undergoing some training in San Diego, so he flew in to spend Christmas with us.  Grandson Jaeger, and Martin spent two afternoons with me, cutting out motifs with his Cricut to make T-shirts and sweatshirts for family members.

I made my granddaughter Klara a By Annie Pattern called Fetch a Sketch.

Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture of it when I finished.  

I did finish Kyleigh's poncho before Christmas, but unfortunately could not get it blocked properly, so took it to a cleaner's and had them steam it out, and it came out beautifully.  I got it home and stitched it together.  I plan to give it to Kyleigh in the next couple of days.  

My sister Mary also came for Christmas and stayed with daughter Kristen.  Christmas morning I went to Kristen's house in my PJs at 9 and we had croissants, and opened gifts and stockings.

Later on that night, daughter Katie, husband John and grandson John, and Klara joined us for dinner.

My next project is to make a dog coat for Kyleigh's dog Maple.  I got this pattern, but it is not big enough for a Great Dane, but I have made adjustments and my mock-up pattern seems to fit her.  

I also am crocheting  a beanie for grandson Keaton.  He will be going back to college in West Virginia in another month.  

This is what I will be working on for Slow Sunday Stitching.  I will be linking up with Kathy's Quilts for Slow Sunday Stitching.  

Thanks for stopping by!
