There has not been much stitching on my 3030 Quilt. Friends have here for a wonderful visit. (That is my slowdown.)
Instead, Block #9: Lucky Strawberries from my A Bountiful Life Quilt has been completed. Now I need to pick my next block, get it traced out, material picked and then begin.
Slow stitching was needed for sitting in my chair time, so I set up this table topper from Shabby Fabrics. It is stitched with the backstitch and has taken not very long to do. This is the first time that I have backed any stitching with a fusible interfacing, as recommended in the pattern directions. It is easy to do the backstitch through. I shall see how it is when I add the scallops and the material backing. I can see that this may be a good idea for a table topper. Will see what I think when it is done and if I hand wash or toss into the washer.
I need to get something set up for this afternoon. I don't have much chair work ready.
Enjoy your day and your threads.

Love the strawberry block. Good idea to work in blocks, one at a time.
