Fast Stitching and Slow Stitching on Sunday

I have two projects I want to work on later today. First, my fast project will be a little tag blankie for Baby L. I am going to use this free Craftsy pattern for one side.

And I will use minkie on the back.

If I get that done, I will work on hand piecing this while watching TV with Mr. Wonderful.

I bought a couple scrap packs from Homestead Hearth. I cannot say enough about their fantastic customer service. I ordered Thursday, had a tracking number within a couple hours,  and my package arrived on Saturday.

I cut some more hexagons from them last night in preparation for my trip to Arizona.

That is about 80 hexagons or 5 rows worth. I need to cut a bunch more! Not sure how big this will end up.

And a couple gratuitous pics of Baby L.

He is wearing a preemie outfit in that last photo!

And Daughter #3 sent me this picture of the grand dog.

I get to meet her when I travel to AZ as well. I can’t wait!

Happy Sunday! Hop over to Kathy’s blog to see what others are working on today.

  6. What a little sweetie! And your tag blankie will be adorable.

  7. Awwwww, Baby L is adorable!

    I ordered a couple of FQ bags a month or so ago … I love them! We will be going to Columbia, MO to see the Ts swim next month … Mexico, MO is just 15 min. off the interstate, so I told DH that we “must” stop by there on our way to Columbia! I am looking forward to that almost as much as I’m looking forward to watching the Ts swim at their meet! ha!
