Olympics!

I love to watch both the Summer and Winter Olympics. I happily cheer the athletes from all the nations, though I am partial to those from the USA. Not only are the Olympics fascinating and exciting, but they are the perfect excuse to just sit and stitch while watching TV. That being said, I have been working on my Prairie Schooler Santa mostly when watching. I have almost finished Santa's coat and the quilt. 

I am trying to leave the white parts toward the end of my stitching so they don't get dirty which is why Santa's coat is missing its trim.

I have also finished the front of the Gingerbread Man ornament. 

I usually work on this at the desk in my daughter's old bedroom, but since she and her family have been visiting since Thursday it is currently put away. I will stuff it and add the hanger and back next week after they leave. 

I also took the time to cut out most of the 1 3/4" x 1 3/4" squares to make the snowball blocks for the I-Spy quilt.

 I have 64 more to cut. Then I can happily sit at my sewing machine and make 120 snowball blocks. Why do I tend to choose quilts with small pieces?

There has been no crafting since Thursday due to the family visitors. I am too busy playing with my granddaughter. It will resume once they leave on Monday. 

I am joining Kathy for some Slow Sunday Stitching. Pop on over to her site to see what other bloggers are stitching.

Thanks for stopping by!
