I'm still working on hand quilting this Double Wedding Ring. I'm stitching in the ditch around the rectangles in the arches in order to get some practice stitching. before I attempt anything in the center areas. There are 98 arches in this quilt so I think I will be at this for awhile.
I need to finish stitching down the binding on this 72 x 90 quilt. I hope to finish that before end of day so I can get it washed and dried today also. I live out in the country where the electricity is expensive. We get a lower rate on the weekends so we try to get our laundry done on weekends to save money. (In the summer we hang laundry outside to dry.)
I finished 6 more butterflies and need to cut more to work on tonight and little bit each night after work and dinner. I need to count how many I have left to do. I THINK I have 44 finished and need 54. I've been using 30s reproduction fabrics on Kona Snow embroidered with black perle #8.
If you are doing some hand stitching this fine Sunday morning why not stitch along at

I love the dimensional look of hand sewing on a quilt...yours is looking great! :)
Your DWR is wonderful, something I always wanted to make !
You have such a nice variety of projects :)
I look forward to seeing your DWR over the weeks to come... what a stunner!
So many great projects to work on today! It would be hard to make a choice... love them all!
Thanks for linking up and sharing your project at Slow Sunday Stitching!
Yes that dwr is going to take a while but how wonderful it will be. Love seeing those butterflies again, you are getting close to having enough. We are snow covered right now and expecting more tomorrow, a bit unusual down here in the south, so it is nice to see those reminders of summer.
What sweet butterflies. Such a perfect pattern for reproduction fabrics.
Your pretty red binding project is a good one to finish. I miss hanging my things outdoors on a good old-fashion clothes line.
Love all your projects!!
