This is the last slow stitching Sunday in October . . . and there are only nine left in 2020. How's that for an opening line?!
Between the birthday weekend and getting ready for the Blog Hop, by this past week I was ready to just chill. LOL! But I pretty much had something every night last week, so not a lot to show. I will share this darling photo of my niece, Liesl . . .
I spent Thursday evening with the grandgirls. They'd had a busy week, too, and Edith was a little grumpy. Of course, even in her grumpiness, she's pretty darling. I tried to capture a shot of the three of them . . .
Friday we ran a lot of errands and got things ready in the camp for the group that came in. We've had a bit of a cool snap and colors are finally starting to change here. It's most noticeable around the pond:
Saturday was a rainy, football kind of day. I made a pot of stew and cookies to bag for the "Cookie Walk" booth a our church's fall festival. I thought about the Hospital Sketches project I started in wool last year. Then I realized that I'd tossed all the freezer paper tracings I'd done for the remainder of the blocks. (I've done three of the nine.) UGH!
I let the random generator pick a winner from my blog hop post. It selected Gail, who blogs at Shedding the Wolf. I've been in contact with her! Congrats, Gail!!
I've made slight progress on my Give Thanks stitchery. But it's progress, nonetheless!
Enjoy your Sunday!!

Every little stitch counts, right?! Your grand girls are adorable - even when grumpy!
I was so excited to win, thank you so much! I was having a little bit of a pity party because I had to miss my granddaughter's play, which was supposed to be an outdoor event but was switched to indoors because of weather. The mix of indoor gatherings and my higher risk age group made it a no-go, so your email was the bright spot I needed to get my day back on track! Thanks so much. :)
Great work on your stitching! Cute picture of the girls too!
Hi,
Your Grand girls are beautiful and we get grumpy sometimes. The trees on the pond are beautiful and the reflection is really cool. Beautiful stitching on your Give Thanks...have a great day!
Your Edith and Liesl make me smile. Love the grumpy face of Edith. Gosh, the camp is in a beautiful place, isn't it. Such a gorgeous photo. Even little progress is good. Your Give Thanks stitchery is looking great. Have a fabulous week, doing all that you do.
beautiful colors and great shot of the pound.
And know what, my son always loved to making faces for pictures, rsrs Your grandgirls are sweet, also your niece. I have never heard yet that blue and yellow are down's syndrome colors. Love these two colors thogether.
Have a great week.
You are so right, Denise! Even when grumpy they are precious!! LOL The pond is really starting to look like fall. I think it will here soon, if all the leaves don't fall off first!! I think we need to take a road trip and see all the changing colors!! Your stitchery is coming along. I might have a little surprise for you this week! Shhhh!!!
The girls are so cute. Your stitchery really looks great. I hope you get some free sewing time this week.
I loved all your photos! I like the idea of making those blocks in blue and yellow. What a wonderful gift that would be. So sorry that you tossed all those tracings. Glad it is all ready now.
Love her idea of doing the Moda quilt in blue and yellow for Leisl!. I am collecting the patterns for that along with the Blockheads ones. I am thinking of mixing and matching... Maybe the group stitch along will push that idea along, because I don't have anything better to do. Final move starts this weekend, finally!
