Slow Stitching Sunday ~ Fall Leaves Time of Year


Every year at this time, we add some fall mums to our garden 

and I pull out this quilt and do some very slow stitching.


Here is this quilt on August 15, 2020

This is the quilt before I started the embroidered leaves:


There are 64 background squares in this Schnibbles quilt top
completed Here in August, 2012. 
I have been slowly embroidering free form leaves since then.
I add a few more embroidered leaves every year.

Linking up again this year with 




One year I will be finished.


Perhaps this will be the year. 

Happy Stitching!

  1. This quilt is definitely slow stitching, but who am I to comment. It took me 20 years to hand quilt the first quilt that I made. LOL. This is so pretty. I am not ready for Fall yet, because that means I have to go back to work. I am a teacher.

  5. There's no need to hurry. How wonderful your quilt will look with your free form, embroidered leaves. I love that you pull this quilt out every fall and stitch a few more leaves. Those fall mums look cheery.

  6. What a wonderful fall tradition! You are quite the artist to free-form those leaves! I admired your work on this post. Your quilt is so pretty!
