Slow Sunday Stitching

It was another super busy week.  Tuesday was my oldest daughter Kristen's 47th birthday and we had a family dinner here.  Everyone was able to come except grandson Jaeger who is back at college.  

The next day, on Wednesday was our guild's Community Service workday at my house.  So right after dinner I needed to set up for that.  We had a good turnout, 8 people including myself.  We were able to get quite a few quilts prepped for basting day.  

Thursday I had lunch with my friend Jandra, who happens to be Kyleigh's fiance's grandmother.   Their dog, Maple, loved the quilted coat I made, but I need to make an adjustment and enlarge the straps under her belly which means I need to take the velcro and snaps off, and binding off and attach about 6 inches more fabric.

The rest of the week I have been working on one of my entries for our quilt show in May.   I had to wait to get my embroidery machine back from being serviced.  It went out in December when I was in the midst of making Christmas ornaments.  

I got this machine embroidery pattern with Father Christmases from Bird Brain Designs.    They also have this in hand embroidery, but I didn't have time to do that.  There are 13 Santas plus 21 little embroideries that are cornerstones with the sashing.  I was able to get them all embroidered.  I just need to clean up the threads and cut them to size.   I got the sashings cut out.  I am planning to take this project to quilt camp the end of February as my project to work on putting this together, if I don't do it beforehand/ 

What I will be working on for Slow Sunday Stitching is this block on Folk Art Sampler.  

I will be linking up with Kathy's Quilts for Slow Sunday Stitching.  

Thanks for stopping by!
