Slow Stitching on Sunday




Yesterday afternoon I did the prep work on the next borders for the Jill Finley quilt project while watching Quilt Show videos on my iPad.  There are 18 flower motifs to be hand stitched, so it will take a while to complete this stage.  Now I have something to work on while Bob uses the remote this afternoon to navigate between golf and Tour de France.  I’m linking up with Slow Sunday Stitching today at Kathy’s Quilts.

    I hate prepping for applique, at least you are now ready to enjoy the fun part in my opinion. Enjoy your slow stitches!

    Prep work is a necessary "evil" for a quilter ... but now you're ready to sit down and work on the fun part!

    I knew I'd have to follow your blog when I read your line about trying to make up for lost time ... that's exactly what I've been doing since I retired! ;-)

    Thankfully the only sports on here this afternoon will be the Cardinals game (and it doesn't hurt that I am a fan as well).

    Good plan to have handwork while your hubby monopolizes the TV with sports. I do the same thing!

    That's going to be a cute flower garden. I've only done one applique project - a full size quilt. I prepped a little at a time and not all at once. I never would have finished any blocks if I had to prep it all up front.

    My hubby has had the remote and night and if I don't care to watch it I concentrate on my stitching! It is a nice and relaxing way to spend the evening.

    Having LOTS of applique to keep busy with sounds like the best way to survive watching golf on TV
