Slowing Things Down

hexagons for Minnie quilt: QuiltBee
This week we spent a few days at one of our favourite spots along the Rideau Canal/Rideau Heritage Route, relaxing by the water's edge and enjoying having someone else do the cooking, so Minnie came along for the ride.














The hot weather continued all week but we found a beautiful shaded perch from which to stitch and read.














With views like this...
















and this, it sometimes got a little difficult to stay focused on stitching.

But stitch I did, and I came home with a nice little bundle of Minnie diamonds.

They still need a press but there will be more of the same today since we are finally getting a good rain, so I'll be curled up with my little hexies and joining Kathy and the gang to do a little slow Sunday stitching....M

Looks so serene! No sitting out here in Texas or you would be a raisin in minutes. But, I am so glad to have my stitching to enjoy while it's really too hot to be out in the yard

What a great spot to sit and relax! How many books did you husband read? You got a lot of hand stitching done!

Fabulous views! Those little hexies are so sweet!

What a way to relax...inviting red chairs, water's edge, and hexies! Way to go!

Sure looks like the perfect place to do some stitching! Here in Sparta Greece it is too hot to do some outside stitching at the moment, have to be inside!

Glad you had a chance to renew and rejuvenate along with a bit of stitching.
