What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

 A Slow Sunday report on Monday. Last week was pretty much a write off. I got my flu and covid vaccines last week and they knocked me off my feet for a bit. Aching and very tired. Today is the first day I’ve felt like I had any energy. So that means there isn’t a lot to show for my week last week. I did a little bit on our Grand-daughter’s stocking. I have one of the last 2 gingerbread people finished and almost fully sewn into place. One more person to do and then I can ...

 I devoted a lot of time this past week to working on our Grand-daughter’s Christmas stocking. Another day or two should get it to the front of the stocking being finished. There are 2 more gingerbread people to make. After that, I’ll need to sew it to a backing piece of felt and then get a backing and lining for it so that it can become a functional stocking, ready to be filled. I’ve also done a few more of the Inner City blocks. I have no idea how many of these I will finally make, but ...

 So I am in celebration mode. Connections is a finished top. This was so much fun to do on so many different levels. All the lovely people who sent me fabric squares to add to this, thank you so very much. The connections quilters make are priceless I have yet to get a backing for it, but that can wait until I get a chance to get to a quilt shop. Since that is now done, I went and dug out the stocking that I had started for our grand daughter. We were away at the trailer for a few ...

 I’ve made really good progress on the Christmas stocking for our grand daughter this past week. The ginger bread house is almost completely done. All that is left is a few decorations to go on the snow at the top of the chimney. I’m confident that the rest can be completed later this year, before Christmas comes. This is the only slow stitching I did this week. So I’ll link to Kathy’s Slow Sunday Stitching.

 I didn’t  make as much progress on the Christmas stocking for our grand daughter as I had hoped. Turns out I had the wrong week for her going to camp. It’s this week. So, I kinda have another week to work on it. That’s what I’ll be doing this afternoon in the glorious sunshine. I’m up to piece 15, which is the green frame around the door, out of 80 something. Not bad, all things considered. 

In between working on the stocking I did a little bit on my Connections piece.

 I started a new slow stitching project today. I have long wanted to make one of the fun Bucilla stocking for our grand daughter, but didn’t really have an idea about which one. Shortly after this past Christmas the idea came to me that we have always done gingerbread baking before each Christmas. She always looks forward to it and so do I. So I thought to look for a ginger bread themed stocking. And I found one and ordered it. What didn’t occur to me was how tricky it would be to actually work on it while ...
