SLOW SUNDAY STITCHING

 Last week was pretty relaxing, able to work on my own projects for the most part.  I did have Community Service Pin Basting Day, and one day had lunch with my friend Jandra, who happens to be Kyleigh's fiance's grandmother.  

I made Jandra a bag like the one I made for Kyleigh's BD and I had also made myself one.  This one is mine, and Kyleigh's was similar.  Jandra's had beige handles.

This week I also made a bag for my stepdaughter Dawn's BD.  Dawn likes turtles and I had bought this panel to make a bag sometime ago.  I decided to use Soft and Stable to pad it.

A project that got put on hold with my broken arm was an on-line quilt class I was taking with Angela Walters, Negative Spaces Quilt Along.  I bought the panel and did the first lesson, and then broke my arm.  The second lesson was for the patterns on the blue section, which I got done this week.  I am hoping to finish this up and bind it and give it to my youngest granddaughter Klara for her birthday in late October. 

I also got some applique prepped for the upcoming Out of the Dark Blog Hop hosted by Joan at Moose Stash Quilting.  This is one of my projects for my upcoming Zephyr Cove quilting retreat.

The highlight of the week was Saturday when my family and I and went to help granddaughter Kyleigh pick out a dress for her wedding next October.  She looked beautiful in everything she put on.  We went to two bridal places.  

This was the group that was helping her choose.

I'm not saying what she chose, but I think she did make a choice today.

What I will be working on for Slow Sunday Stitching continues to be the vintage double wedding ring restoration.

Scrap Happy September

It’s again time for showing off our scrap projects!  ScrapHappy is open to anyone using up scraps of anything – no new materials. It can be a quilt block, pincushion, bag or hat, jewelry, dolls, socks or a sculpture.   Anything made of scraps is eligible.

If you'd like to join us and use up your scrap collection, instead of sitting around in bags, etc, why not join us on the 15th of each month? Either e-mail Kate at the address on her Contact Me page, or leave a comment on her Scrap Happy Post.

I've been absent a couple of months.  I broke my arm and wasn't blogging.  I am currently getting ready for a quilt retreat soon.  

In July, we had another 5th Wednesday for my quilt guild Community Service.  I spent about 10 days cutting up flannel scraps for more Potato Chip quilt kits.  I was able to make up 6 kits.  

My granddaughter is getting married next October and I am making a Double Wedding Ring quilt.  The centers and ovals are not scraps, but everything else is.  I spent over a week cutting the pieces out on my Accuquilt.  I will be going on a quilt retreat later this month and this is one of the projects I am going to work on.

That's it for this month.

SLOW SUNDAY STITCHING

 It was a busy week all around.  This was the week for our guild board meeting.  This week I continued to prepare for my upcoming Zephyr Cove quilt retreat.  I got more of Kyleigh's Double Wedding Ring pieces cut out.  

Also Kyleigh's best friend is having a baby boy in February, and his father is a pilot, so I found a pattern on Etsy, and got it all cut out as well.  This was a pattern by One Bee Lane.

Thursday I had two appointments, with the dental hygienist, in which I was determined I needed to have some "deep cleaning" in several months.  

The second was with the hearing aid specialist after a hearing test.  One of my hearing aids stopped working three weeks ago.  I found out earlier in the year that my current hearing aids were out of warranty and would no longer be serviced by my prior hearing aid specialist.  I decided to go with the Kaiser system this time and they have been ordered and will arrive in a couple of weeks, and I have an appointment October 8th.  

Friday afternoon was spent setting up this year's Begonia Show and Sale.  These were the sale plants.  

This was an arrangement I made for our auction table. When I ;eft Saturday afternoon it had the highest price on it of $45.

These are some of the entries in this year's show:

These are what came home with me:  I have a lot of repotting to do next week.  I got 12 plants in total.  I went a little crazy!

The show ends tomorrow, I'll need to go pick up my plants after the show.

What I will be working on for Slow Sunday Stitching is repairs on the vintage quilt.
