I had to really fight the urge to take some hand-quilting to my daughter's softball game. I can't take it with me because I know I'll get so engrossed in it that I'll miss a big play in the game. Once I'm at the game, I spend the whole time cheering so I don't even miss the quilting. It crosses my mind every time though.

I have the pincushions I could make but that involves sewing the top part together on the machine. I'll be overrun with pincushions if I do that all week! I might start calling them Tribbles. :lol:
I could do some applique patterns that I got. 9 patterns of beautiful florals that I didn't know when I was ever going to get to.

Hmmm... that means a trip to Joann's (maybe at lunch today) to get white for the background and washing and drying the packets of fabrics I have in a rainbow of colors for the leaves and flowers.

Of course I will share when I start working on them... that's part of the fun.
I got the corner version of all of these, only 9 of them, so I figure 3x3 with plain setting squares on-point.
Bird Of Paradise
Chrysanthemum
Columpine
Fuchsia
Lilac
Morning Glory
Squash Blossom
Tulip
Orchid
