Slow Sunday Stitching

Today I will attempt to catch up on one of three hand stitching projects just so I can participate in today's Slow Sunday Stitching  post, which refers to Kathy's gang of hand stitchers. Too fun! Sometimes when I am questioned why I do handwork, I empathize with the ladies in the photo. Lol! The three projects have been posted previously.

Slowly working on my needlepoint heart:

More applique practice:

And/or make another EPP tumbler block

This upcoming week I am looking forward to attending one of my favorite quilt shows, Sauder Village Quilt Show. It is an excellent venue with hundreds of quilts hanging in Founders Hall. There is live piano music playing in the background, the hall is well light and the show is not commercialized. If you live within a few hours of Archbold, Ohio, it is well worth the drive. It runs from Tuesday thru Sunday.

Two excellent and well-known quilt instructors are featured this year: Edyta Sitar and Kimberly Einmo. Classes are full, however, their work should be on display for all to enjoy. :-)

I am especially looking forward to viewing a clever and inspiring wall hanging, Food Frenemies, which is hand appliqued and quilted by Teresa over at Fabric Therapy.  Rumor has it that Teresa my be in attendance.  :-)

It’s quilt show season around here too. I was at a quilt show this past Friday and hope to go to another one this weekend. The heart stitchery is just beautiful! It’s nice to have a choice of what to work on...

Thank you for admiring the heart. I do hope to take some photos. If Teresa from Fabric Therapy is in attendance, she takes the best photos and posts all of them. Stay tuned....

I love, love that heart. How beautiful with the variety of stitches. Someday....I will make a tumbler quilt. This math teacher who loves geometry swoons every time she sees one. I am looking forward to seeing yours.
