Slowdown on Sunday - Pink

 It is a sure sign that things are ready to slow down as my design wall begins to shift slowly from blue to pink.  I had a chance this morning to finish up just a few postage stamp stars and pull out some framed nine patches.  We had company over for dinner last night and so yesterday was spent on cleaning and cooking.  It was very nice though, to wake up this morning to a nice tidy house and plenty of leftovers.   There was nothing to keep me from heading straight to the machine for some much needed "ME" time.
I have managed to sneak in just a bit of slow stitching time thanks to the prep work that got done over winter break.  These nine orange peels will add nicely to the blues that I did last month for the begining of a beautiful slow stitched quilt.  Having a little ready bag packed at all times makes it easy to grab and go when waiting is on the agenda.  Be sure to go visit Kathy this morning to see what slow stitching is going on in blogland.

Those peels are looking great! I am on tap for cleaning and organizing the house today. Lots of work but it will be worth it.

Don't you love it when you have the time to stitch and your prep work is done and you can just relax and enjoy?!?

Your gonna make me put a New York Beauty on my list. I also love the stars and little baskets on your wall! I am missing joining with RSC this year already. But I really need to get a few more starts finished this year. I am enjoying watching everyone's progress this year.

Love your orange peels. I have a collection started myself. They are fun to make and yes, very portable. Enjoy!

Interesting comments on the ready bag. I'm going to have to get a lot more organized if I want to accomplish much with my scraps.

Good you found some ME time. Love the orange peels. So far I have resisted temptation.

Love what you have on the design wall.
