Random Blue Blocks Hand Stitching Progress

I made more progress on the random blue blocks crib quilt.



I had a beautiful view of the lake while stitching while our son was magnet fishing.  He found this "trashure".  It's some sort of extension pole that will go on the scrap pile.


Glad we went when we did.  It's starting to get colder.  The docks will be removed from the water soon.  They start letting the water out of the dam here 12/8.  If we have sunny days we dress warm and go look for lures among the rocks mid December.  During 2020 when I kept our son home his whole 8th grade year we went.  I found three quarts of cool lures!  


I finished the hand-stitched binding on my 2025 Bonnie Hunter Mystery, Old Town!


I also started hand-stitching the binding of the vintage embroidery quilt.  Boy do I love these clips!


I better get busy quilting what I can before "longarm season" is over due to cold weather in an unheated longarm room.  I'm really enjoying stitching with a nice quilt on my lap while watching tv.

I'm linking up with Kathy's Quilts for Slow Sunday Stitching here.

Your quilt is completely finished before the start of Bonnie's next mystery! Not many people can say that. I'm sure your son will miss is magnet fishing but exploring the dry lake bed will be fun also. Your hand quilting looks very nice, the stitches are even!

Happy November, Kathy. I just love your hand quilted hummingbird- sweet as a button. Ooh how fun that your dear son enjoyed an evening of magnet fishing. I have always wanted to do that. We saw someone magnet fishing the other day from a nearby bridge. I am not sure if they found in treasures though. Have a blessed day. Hugs.

Kathy, your Bonnie Hunter quilt is gorgeous! Such an amazing finish! The little hummingbird you quilted is sweet. How nice to stitch while you watch your son enjoy some fishing. He looks as if he had the best time.
