Slow Sunday Stitching

I have been cutting out the green fabric for the Log Cabin Star quilt. I need to cut 9 different shapes.  For each shape I need 6-7 pieces of each of 32 different green fat quarters. I have cut 9 different fabrics so far.

I am using a wide variety of fabrics with dusty green, blue green and teal

I have added some stitches to my secret stitching and some rows to my baby blanket. Here is a sneak peek of the secret stitching. I am working on finishing all the colors in this rose.

I recently finished reading "The Island House" by Nancy Thayer and "A Cup of Silver Linings" by Karen Hawkins. I really liked both of these books. Now I am reading "Nights in Rodanthe" by Nicholas Sparks.

My tiger lily has started to bloom and it is gorgeous!

I have many more flowers to share with you from Hubby and my recent trip to Longwood Gardens with our son. You can find that photo heavy post here.

I am joining Kathy for some Slow Sunday Stitching. Pop on over to her site to see what other bloggers are stitching. I think I will spend some time stitching Santa today.

Thanks for stopping by!

    Cathie: lovely fabric colors.
    Your secret stitching is pretty.
    Beautiful Lily, I have blood orange ones, and they are so big this year for some reason.

      I am looking forward to finishing all the cutting so that I can start sewing. I am going to have to be very precise as these are very thin logs.
