Restful Appliqué for Slow Stitch Sunday

I love the quiet content feeling of being curled up with some handwork on Sunday afternoon or evening. I am almost always sitting in front of the TV on Sunday night and when I don't have a project to work on, it isn't nearly as pleasant ... I start fidgeting.

Basket HandlesTonight, I'll be continuing to work on the holiday baskets, with some hand appliqué to stitch down the rest of the handles.

I've finished 2 of the Banded Basket blocks and have 6 more to go.

I'm excited to put the blocks and squares together and decide about what's next?  Maybe a little more appliqué ...


One Finished Basket, one Not
Yep that flower print is upside down. I decided to leave it that way, but if you see it turned right side up next time, you'll know I just couldn't stand it ;-)

I agree about having some hand work to do, working on my last block on my hand quilting project and I find myself wondering what is next! Your baskets are cute!

My restful sewing today is putting the binding on a quilt for my sister. It's been sitting around for a couple of weeks and needs to be finished by Thanksgiving. I'm glad your day today is more restful than your birthday adventures!! Best wishes, Kathie L
