Slow Sunday Stitching

I have two projects to switch back and forth from today for slow stitching.  The first is to applique the swags onto the borders of my Hugs & Kisses quilt.  I started this quilt in 2009, and once I get the border finished, the top will finally be done.  I am, most definitely, a SLOOOOW appliquer/quilter.  The quilt was designed by Sue Garman for The Quilt Show BOM.  She made her beautiful quilt in blue and green, but I decided on yellow, cheddar, and green.  It will probably take another 5 years after that to get the quilting finished.

If I get tired of hand applique, I can always work on the current quilt in the hoop.  This is a scrap quilt that I'm quilting with an overall Baptist fan design.  It's still rather warm here in California -90 degrees is our projected high for today, so I'm not sure I want a big quilt on my lap.

 In any case, I should probably get my handwork in before 4:30, as my beloved Giants are playing game 2 against the Cardinals.   I often quilt while watching TV,  but these playoff games are just too exciting to multi-task through.

 

 

Go Giants!!!
