Todd and I got on the road yesterday afternoon and headed to Tuscaloosa for a missions conference. We stayed overnight at the Bama B&B!
It's a really pretty place and I'll share more about that later.
I finished up granddaughter Olivia's patchwork doll quilt . . .
Just a simple finish. It's sweet! I'll get this out in the mail to her on Monday.
I also finished block 20 of my Grandmother's Choice BOM.
I had trouble with the points on this one. I may (*may*) go back and fiddle with it. I also may not.
This is a better representation of what's done and what's actually left. LOL! The holes in the first three rows are where I skipped a block that looked too tough. Haha!
I prepped a little stitchery to take on the road and have to work on in our down time today:
Just a little heart. I had the pattern saved on my computer from somewhere. Quick work.
I've gotten a little done. May finish it up on our way home today ... slow stitching and all!
Linking up with
Kathy's Quilts. Enjoy a slow stitching Sunday!

You have been busy, I love the little dolls quilt. That is a very pretty heart pattern, i'm just starting to embroider again after a long gap.
Cute little embroidery!
Great projects. That B&B looks divine!
Very pretty! You do the same thing I do when a trip is planned. I love to take a project for stitching while we are on the road, as well as in the hotel room or whenever there is downtime. Your embroidery is gorgeous! I'd like to know more about how you store patterns on the computer and how you print them out. I think I need to know this information!!
Love the heart embroidery!
Do you just decide on the stitching on your heart as you go or are you following a picture? I have a few baby bibs that I inherited that have printed designs on them for embroidery, but I am not sure what stitches to use. I like that you used the blanket stitch on the heart. It really makes that center shine. I like that little doll blanket and the block you just finished. Personally your points look just fine. I can't see any problem with them.
What a cute little stitchery! Perfect for Valentines coming up! A friend of mine just finished a block after 16 years cause she finally had a class that taught her how to go about it. She said it isn't that hard when you know how to attack it. Love the fabrics you are using on your Grandmother's choice BOM
That looks like a sweet place to stay, and the perfect setting for a little bit of embroidery! There are so many fun little patterns out there to stitch up!
Love your stitchery. I like to carry something along on car rides with my HB or for when I watch TV. I am sure your granddaughter will love her quilt. Looks like your B & B was wonderful.
If it isn't a show quilt, and you can't see it from the back of a galloping horse at 25 feet, don't worry about it!! Now, if it is a show quilt, go back and fiddle until it is perfect!! I don't piece show quilts, but I have quilted a few. One thread out of the SID line means I stop, pull it out, tie it off and start again exactly in the hole I just buried the threads in! I'm not nearly so picky with my own quilts for family and friends!!! You always have your hands busy creating...love your work!
The colors you are using in your BOM blocks are beautiful, and what a cute redwork stitchery!
I love your blocks and the little doll quilt! Your embroiderey design is so pretty! What is the thread you are using? Hugs,
A very pretty heart stitchery for the trip. It's always important to take some stitching along on trips.
Love your room at the B & B!
Sweet little doll quilt in pink and purple.
I'd leave those blocks for the BOM alone, unless you are planning on entering it in a show to be judged. I think you are wise to skip the tough ones. Are you going to sub some other blocks or make a smaller quilt?
Oh, a wonderful little Valentine stitchery.
What a beautiful B&B! I've never stayed in one, although my mother owned one and I stayed with her. But that's just not the same. Isn't embroidery so relaxing? I do love your quilt it's really coming along. I don't think you need to fix the points - just my opinion, because I didn't notice them being off.
I had several relatives who went to Bama. Tuscaloosa is a great town. Those points look good enough to me!! Move on. It’s going to be a great quilt. Love your little Valentine themed Stitchery. So sweet. Have a great week!’
