Sunday Stitching!

I just love Sundays… a day to have no real plan and just see what happens… ahhh!

Today when I woke up I decided to work on my hand quilting on the middle border of my current project the Byrum Family Quilt.  The red outlines the border I am on now..

And here is a close up of this fun fabric I am stitching on…

Can you see my chalk lines… I had the template and ordered the chalk.  It came in yesterday.. just in time for me to use it! lol

I enjoy marking with chalk as it fades as you stitch and any residual you can spritz with water to remove completely before the first wash!

I had white and this is my first adventure with pink… it looks neon pink in the bag.. but as you can see comes out as a light pink on the fabric… here is a closer look at the chalk markings and my “support stitching” done in the ditch and 1/4″ in as well…

Because I plan to spend most of the day quilting these fun wavey lines… I also will link up to Kathy’s Slow Sunday stitching HERE!

But I am also doing a little work with Gloria today… I have yet to use her since her big reveal in yesterday’s post!

This morning I set aside the hand stitching and cut out a star!

And now here it is!!

Yippee!  That is now 2 stars done out of 12 needed 🙂

I can do this multi tasking now that my Gloria has a permanent home… even though she is easily removed… it is her place to be when I am here 🙂

So what are you up to on this Sunday.. hustling about or enjoying the calm before the holiday storms to come? 🙂  Get yourself organized for those upcoming holiday projects and join me here NEXT WEEKEND to share a blog post via linky and List..
