Sunday Blessings, ya'll. Can you believe the last week of May is coming upon us? This year is buzzing on by -at least for me it is. This week was a very busy week. The beginning of the week started off with ballgames. We went to Alabama to watch my youngest daughter play on Monday. I took along my 2020 flag quilt and quilted as I rode. It was great to see her play again and woo hoo she hit 2 homeruns! Of course, I had to stop at the Goodwill and the Walmart in the area. We did not get in till late at night so little stitching was completed.
On Tuesday I shared my Red, White and Blue ornament . I officially added this little ornament to the patriotic raggedy tree.
Since it was Tomato Tuesday, I also completed Needle Bling Designs "Stitching Makes Me Happy" .
This chart was a gift from my friend , Joan. I used my own floss colors - what I had in my stash. What a fun stitch. This was also my Tiny Tuesday Stitch as well. My friend, Christina has started #tinytuesdaycrossstitching on Instagram to focus on stitching smalls. Tuesdays are always a fun day.
A new start followed on Wednesday with a summer saltbox, and yes I did complete it. I stayed up into the wee hours of the morning stitching away, but I will share the finish later. I still need to FFO it which sometimes takes me awhile.
More ballgames on Thursday with a little rest time, and then Friday was the perfect day to do a little FFOing on Little Liberty Manor.
I had good intentions this week to sneak into the Quilt Nest and do some piecing. I do have 3 quilts brewing in my mind. But alas it was a "no go" .
So today my plan is to finish the border on my patriotic flag quilt and have it ready for binding on Monday.
A new quilt will go into the hoop which will probably be my Chicken Quilt.
It is way overdue to be in the hoop. I would like to get at least a row of quilting completed this week. Can I do it? I don't know ; it just depends how many squirrels I start chasing.
Well I am off to do my Sunday family visits and quilt as I chat. I am so happy you stopped by for a sweet Sunday visit as well. As always...
Happy quilting and stitching ya'll
