Walking Foot Quilting

I finished off the quilting and binding of the hollow 9 patch baby quilt earlier this week and got to work on quilting my yellow and green potato chip quilt.  I am using 28 wt green thread on top and white 50 wt thread in the bobbin. This is a bigger quilt so it is taking longer to quilt...more material to manage as I quilt. I will work on this again soon--I'm hoping to have it done to show on next week's blog post.  This is a donation quilt. 

And here is the big TaDa!  The hollow nine patch rainbow quilt is done.  It is 36" by 48".   I bought the backing on sale a while ago and only have 1/2 a yard left.  

My black eyed Susans are putting on a show in the garden in the backyard these days. 

Our Kangaroo paws plant is in flower!  Such an interesting plant!

I finished the red border and started on the Burgundy border on my Pitcher Plant rug hooking project.   This definitely qualifies as slow stitching!!  I also spent a couple of hours on knitting my scarf---another very slow stitching project.  I am itching to start another cross stitch picture but I am resisting until these two projects are done. 

My daughter read 14 books in July and here are her granny squares for each book.  The second picture shows all of the books she read.  The little squares will be put together in the order that she read the books.  She has a spreadsheet that keeps track of the books and granny squares...

My husband and I decided to take advantage of a beautiful, not too hot, day yesterday and we went hiking at Rondeau Provincial Park. There are some interesting plants there and we also saw several varieties of butterflies.  Only one butterfly stayed still long enough for a picture.

Finn is peaking out from under my daughter's desk to say hello!

I will link up with Kathy and the Slow Sunday Stitchers tomorrow.  This post will also be linked up with Frederique and Angela today.
