Slow and Steady

Yep! that is how I have been working on four Hop To It blocks. I have some of the other pieces prepped and ready to applique.
I am almost finished with this block.
These next three photos are just for fun. Check out these acorns I found when I went for a walk with my husband. They look like they have little straw hats on top. I had not ever seen these before. So I sent a picture to KaHolly who I consider an expert when it comes to anything that has to do with nature. And she knew exactly what Oak tree they came from.
Look, my first handful of spinach from my little seedlings I planted in early September.
What a sunset!

With Passion,
Carrie P.

Slow and steady is a good way to be.

Those acorns are something else.

Your applique is really coming together nicely. I like the softness of the colors in the fabrics you have chosen.

It's apparent you're enjoying life. Quilting, nature walks, fresh grown food, and appreciating the beauty around you. It's wonderful to know someone who lives like this. Bless you.

I am hoping to have a passion for applique soon. I've been reading for the last year HOW but I've never done much yet. Maybe I'll learn from you :)
