and I am really enjoying fussy cutting and sewing these blocks.

I bought a kit for this pattern about four years ago and never got to it.
I am happy that I am finally getting to it.
I felt all thumbs for the first few minutes,

Here are my next four blocks.
I am going to love this quilt
and I am now pulling favorite fat quarters
from my stash to add to the quilt.
There is a two-fold reason for starting this quilt now.

It has been a happy week of sewing.
One of the things I like about this sew along
is how has been thoughtfully set up to sew Monday though Friday
and my weekends are open to sew other things.
I have been able to keep up with these challenge blocks and
with my other sewing.
This weekend I dd not make more blocks but I did play with my scraps on Saturday.
I made a March Mug Rug for next to my computer.
Also, I have been working on a project for a blog hop later in the month.
Here is a sneak peek.
More soon.
I did some slow stitching on my embroidery project.
While watching an old movie,
my hubby petted the Nutmeg
and I stitched.
I finished the pink bleeding heart flowers,
added the darker pink stamen stems
and started the yellow french knots on the tips.
I hope to finish the french knots tonight
but right now I am enjoying a cup of tea and
I am going to visit with the talented stitchers at
Slow Sunday Stitching
