Slow Sunday Stitching--Binding and Boring White

Slow Sunday Stitching--see more pretty hand stitching on Kathy's Quilts blog. 

I intended to get stitching earlier today, but we had a couple of visitors first--our son and grandson were giving Mama a break.  There was rearranging of refrigerator magnets, pulling ALL the toys out of the toybox, a water break, and of course a snack, while Daddy and Papa watched football. 

Yesterday I got the bindings attached to the two small runners I've been working on.  They are trimmed and ready to stitch by hand.  

Designed by Heather Mulder Peterson, from her Mini Charms2 booklet.  These were sure quick to quilt. 


Stitch in the ditch all the way!  No heavy quilting needed for these little quilts. 

Late in the evening there was cross-stitch while watching Harry Potter. 


Very boring fill-in of the white on white, with a tiny spray of a few green stitches there at the center top. Two or three more flowers to add at the top before beginning on the surface embroidery.  I'll get there, slow stitch by slow stitch :)

How fabulous, a visit from your son and grandson. The two runners are so pretty; as is your cross stitch. Love all those pastel colours.

Nice to have your son and grandson for a visit to give the little ones Mum a break. I find stitching bindings down quite relaxing, especially on smaller projects like your runners.

Sounds like you made good progress even with your visitors. The cross stitch is lovely. Happy stitching this week.

Nice scrappy runners/minis. I can't see well enough for cross-stitch anyway and I think white on white would be impossible!
