I finally completed one of the eight applique blocks needed for a little crib quilt. I like the dot fabrics.
I think they will look sweet on this quilt:
In other happenings, I have been kayaking every weekend for the last four or so weeks. Today is the last one of the year and I will put the kayak away until next year. Today's paddle is with a group of friends in my kayak club. It's a themed paddle called Witches on Water. Participants will be dressed in Halloween costumes. Below was a picture from last weekend. It was windy. Lots of water came into the boat.
I picked the first watermelon that grew in my flowerbed as a volunteer plant. It was sweet, but tasted like a watermelon and a cucumber had a baby! I have three more of these, one is more than 12" long. I think all of the scratches on the watermelon are coming from the cats that play in this flowerbed. I also have four watermelon of the very dark skin variety growing on my sod pile. It's watermelon time!
The cat's just won't let the flowers alone. It's a playground to them...
My sew-to-go bag is prepped and ready for this week. I'm having minor out-patient surgery on Wednesday afternoon this week. They told me to take a couple weeks off work. I scheduled one week off for now. We shall see. I'm sure that there will be more waiting the day stitches are removed.
I'm linking up with Kathy's Quilts for Slow Sunday Stitching here.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery from your upcoming surgery. I have never tried kayaking, but it is on my someday list. Your applique is so pretty. I like the notes you keep nearby. I am also a list maker.
Witches on Water, i like the sound of that! Best wishes for your procedure.
Did you kayak at Atwood? The flower applique' is very pretty. Wishing you the best with your outpatient procedure. Take it easy and don't push it!
The typography choice on this web project fits the brand vibe completely.
lovely pics thee...water is so calming
What a lovely, gentle Sunday post — your appliqué block is so sweet, and those dot fabrics will make such a cheerful crib quilt. It reminded me of an oncbrothers podcast episode about slowing down and savouring small creative moments. Wishing you a smooth procedure on Wednesday and a restful recovery!
One appliqué block down and seven to go — those dot fabrics really will make such a cheerful crib quilt, Kathy. Witches on Water sounds like the perfect autumn kayaking outing too. Wishing you a smooth outpatient procedure and a restful recovery; your sew-to-go bag is a lovely idea for the wait.
Congratulations on finishing that first applique block, Kathy! The dot fabrics really do look sweet for a little crib quilt, and I hope the other seven blocks come together just as nicely. Your slow Sunday mix of kayaking, that volunteer watermelon, and the cats treating the flowers as a playground made me smile. Wishing you a smooth procedure on Wednesday and an easy recovery with your sew-to-go bag close at hand. After a calm stitching morning, finding a nearby coffee stop is always a treat, so I was looking at black rock menu near me for ideas. Thanks for linking up with Slow Sunday Stitching!
