Lazy hazy Sunday or was it?

Happy Sunday to you!

I love a slow enjoyable Sunday don't you?

I would really like to thank Kathy for hosting her linky party for slow stitching Sunday every week.  I don't always get a chance to link but I love to look when I get the chance, I encourage you to check outKathy's blog and all the links at slow stitching Sunday Here

Firstly today I had to do the usual catch up cleaning etc since I have been to melbourne to the Australasian Quilt Convention on Thursday and Saturday.  And of course I was almost out of bread so that was first on the agenda.

Then onto the other bits of housework and a walk with the dogs.  Then onto organising my sewing area and tidying up.  I decided and chatted with hubby about making a pressing board.   So we decided to use an older chopping board which isn't used anymore and some cotton wadding which he stapled onto the board.

I then made a cover and put elastic in the edge casing which I sewed onto the edge as I neaten the edges. I decided this way I could change the cover easy. 

And here is my finished result.

This has left me with time for my true love to end the day with.  I am hoping I can actually work a lot on this quilt this week and load another onto the frame on Tuesday.  

This little quilt has been worked on almost for 18 months and it is truly coming close to a finish and a big reveal.

So I hope you all have a wonderful day and all the very best for an amazingly creative week full of inspiration.   My other dream of having my own website has also become a reality.  It is still being worked on so I will let you all know when it is fully working but please take a look and if you need anything please send an email and I can arrange it all for you.  Please have a look http://wehagodesigns.com and let me know what you think.  

So until the next post take care and have fun sewing or creating amazing things and enjoy life!

Slow quilting at the frame

Today I have been able to return to my quilting at the frame for love calms the sea.  It is certainly a different process quilting at the frame to in the hoop.  For me I much prefer quilting on the frame, I do know that others struggle with this process but since I have adapted to quilting away from me with my thumb i believe I can get a more even stitch plus it seems to be quicker.  I am using my much loved aurifil 28wt to hand quilt with and I just can't say how much I love using this thread.

I have also been busy cooking today, I managed to do two loaves of bread and some bread rolls along with date and nut loaves.  It has certainly been a productive day even if it is a slow stitching Sunday and I am glad to share this Post with  Kathy.

So until next time have a wonderful Sunday and enjoy your slow stitching,

Wendy.
