It's May! Slow Sunday, Too!

Gosh, how to handle all the excitement?! First we'll welcome in May,  then we'll take a look at some recent slow stitching.

May Day! I doubt there will be any celebrating around here today; the weather is gray and rainy and cool and breezy - not very conducive to being outdoors. I can, however, see the lilac bush out the family room window, and that's worth celebrating in itself!

Now for the slow stitching. I opted to hand stitch the binding on the most recent quilt I finished on the long arm. This is Patriotic Dreams from last year's sew-along Spring Dreams. Here's a post to read about it.

The birds have been singing in full-throated glory lately, so even though it is cool and raining, I tried stitching on the front porch. I didn't last too long. Even though I could use the quilt to wrap around my lap while stitching, I still got too cold.

 I will link up with Kathy for her weekly Slow Stitching Party. It's been awhile, and I like to check in on the participants to see what all they've been working on.

Tomorrow, the April wrap-up, and after that I've been remiss in posting some recent activities, so I will get on that. My April numbers for posting were down and I attribute that to this darn allergy I've dealt with since mid-month. Perhaps I can redeem myself in May. 

Happy Quilting, Friends!
