Slow Sunday Stitching -- Dinner Party Binding

I'm working on the binding of my Dinner Party crib-sized quilt this week.  The majority of the fabrics were given to me from Linda at Art in Search..  The fabric line is called Horsen' Around.  


This is a fun one to bind as the quality fabrics are super soft.

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


 Slow Sunday Stitching

This week was our son's 19th birthday.  Wow, how time flies.  We left him pick where he wanted to go and plan the road trip.  He picked a mini golf place that was one hour and 45 minutes away.



Here's a pic of my husband and I.  Man I need to start losing weight again.  It's been such a struggle.  I was a ketovore for about six years (2019-2025).  I just couldn't maintain it.  This is not he heaviest weight that I have been.  I joined Weight Watchers in February of this year.  I have GAINED 7 pounds since then!  I tried the "shots" for a year (last year).  I lost 19 pounds on that but gained it back when I joined WW.  Hopefully seeing this pic on my blog will jog my memory of what I need to do.  I'm lucky right now that my knees don't hurt like they use to and that I am still mobile.  I need to look at the positives.  I can work in my flowerbeds for hours at a time.  I'm slow, but I am way more mobile than my mom ever was.  Let's just call this my "before" picture.  I had a good hair day before this photo, but it got to hot before we took a pic.  LOL


Here's a pic of my husband and his sister.  She is such an awesome friend to me and the BEST AUNT our son could ever ask for.  She is his biggest cheerleader.


A good time was had by all.


On Friday when my husband was at work, Owen was treated to dinner and a movie with his friend.



Owen's friend's dad showed Owen how he uses AI to make a cool pic.  Yes, we saw Mandalorian (a Star Wars movie).  It was cute.

That's such pretty fabric - love the horses and the purple! We love miniature golf - that sounds like a fun thing to do to celebrate a big birthday. Love the Mandalorians, too!
