Hand Stitching On Sunday


While sewing rows together for this quilt, I had to find something for a leader/ender project.  I pulled out the little bin with the extra half square triangles from this step of Orca Bay. Some were sewn, some were not.

I started playing around with them and come up with this little mini quilt.  Early this morning I sat down and did some simple stitch in the ditch quilting and put the binding on.  I couldn't leave it alone so I had to finish it.

I turned on some HGTV show and stitched the binding down.  Now it's hanging on the wall right in front of me when I sew.  (Now that I look at that picture, I think I need to give this a good pressing!)

Today we are having our favorite Sunday dinner-pot roast, smashed potatoes, gravy and corn....it smells so good in here.  Perfect for a Slow Sunday.  Check out Kathy's Slow Stitching Sunday and see what others are stitching.

I am hungry just hearing about your Sunday supper. Your extras turned into such a sweet little quilt.

It's funny how a leader/ender project takes over sewing time! This is so cute!

Love your little scrap quilt! It is amazing what little bits of fabrics that other throw away can become such a beautiful quilt.
