Slow Sunday Stitching

This year seems to be flying by at an alarming rate.  I have been caught up in gift making and it seems to be going even faster.  Time to report in for Slow Sunday Stitching @Kathy's Quilts, the weekly link-up for hand stitchers.  



I finished a couple of projects last night, these are at the assembly stage right now.  

My daughter Katie requested this for Christmas, and I finished last night.  I just need to assemble it with a backing and label, I'm thinking about adding a border too.

I also finished a redo of my Redwork ornament OOPS, that I attached to the backing of the special frame upside down.  

That v in the center  is the bottom of the frame back and I had it attached to the cardboard upside down.  It would make the ribbon on the ornament at the bottom not the top.  So I will pay more attention this time what I am doing.  

What I will be doing today for my Slow Sunday Stitching is to stitch this month's assignment for the Buhl-Bushong quilt, which is to finish this border piece.

I will be linking up with Kathy's Quilts for Slow Sunday Stitching.  I really appreciate this weekly link-up.  Be sure and stop by there and see what everyone else has been up to.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Slow Sunday Stitching

I can't believe how fast this year is flying by, the weeks are slipping away fast.  Time to check in again at Kathy's Quilts for Slow Sunday Stitching.  I didn't get much handwork done this past week.  

The reason for this was I spent 4 days making 9 different kinds of Christmas cookies, 3 of them I had to roll out.  Yesterday I spent most of my day making 9 dozen sugar cookies.  By the time I got to sit down and relax in the evening I didn't feel like doing anything.  But I finished baking today, so I can't get back to my stitching. These are some of the goodies I made.

Today I cut out the pieces for the project I am making my daughter for Christmas.  She wanted me to make this section of the Flowers, with 3 bees.  This was called Wooly Flowers Sampler.  

I got most of the pieces cut out this afternoon, but I noted when I went to take this picture I have a few pieces going the wrong way, or need to make a color adjustment on one of the flowers.  But I am pretty much ready to stitch down.

I also need to finish up last month's Buhl-Bushong assignment, and prep this month's which is to finish this border piece.  I just have a leaf, stem and the flower to do for last month's.  

I will be linking up with Kathy's Quilts for Slow Sunday Stitching.  You can use the link and stop by and see what everyone else is doing.  I love to see what everyone is working on each week.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
