Last Sunday I was adding some hand quilting stitches to my June mini quilt, and I was able to finish it this week. Hand stitching the back of the binding down is one of my favourite things, and I enjoyed every minute. Isn't that a pretty Amy Butler backing fabric?Now that the quilt is finished, I am back to my hand embroidery project.
What are you hand stitching today? Link up your blog post below and share your slow progress with us.

your tea towel looks perfect. I think a lighter floss for the outer circle would have looked out of place. That backing fabric is fabulous! Thanks for hosting.
I love your tea towel... I am planning on gifting the couple I share in my posting a tea towel or two .. I think your embroidery is sew worth your time :) Thanks for inspiring me! Kathi
The Amy Butler backing is quite pretty. Maybe you'll like Roll With It better when it is out of the hoop. It looks fine - really. Have a great week, Kathy!
binding is nice to do on a slow Sunday! your tea towel is looking good I think
I love your tea towel! I think it is ok to work slowly! Have a wonderful sunday! :-)
I think I have those embroidery transfers. I should get busy and embroider on some towels and make hot pads to go with for Christmas gifts. I think your embroidery looks terrific and you should roll with it!
That is a great backing fabric for your pig mini! It's always fun to spend more time with the backing fabric when you're stitching the binding. Enjoy your Sunday stitching, Kathy!
I don't think the border distracts! I was thinking it would be hard to keep that border design in line, but it looks awesome!
I think your tea towel looks fine the way it is. Love you pig mini backing! Enjoy your Slow Stitching, and thanks for providing us this place to meet up each week! My favorite day of the week!
I think I may sew binding down on a table runner today as it's going to be too hot to do anything else but read. It was fun to see several snowmen projects linked today.

Your eye is drawn to the wording and the rolling pin not the outside border. It looks great!
So many people I know dislike the last step of binding a quilt...
I love it!!!
It says (the quilt that is) that"I am finished"
Hi Kathy, I love your finished June mini. That backing is so lovely! I see what you mean about the outer ring of your embroidery but it really is great. Take care and thanks again for hosting!
Hi Kathy,
Love your Tea Towel...so pretty.
Have a great day!
Hello There!
I have stolen your idea! Yup. I'm hand embroidering tea towels as Christmas gifts. I've picked up several Stitcher's Revolution and Aunt Annie's. Thank you for sharing!
