Stitching on the Road

This is my last full day in College Station.  I start the trip home tomorrow.  I've had such a good time hanging out with Grad Girl. Yesterday was a just be home and chill day.  We did a bit of laundry and a few dishes, but otherwise it was a nice relaxing day. I spent some time sewing while she played her Switch and baked. Dinner was simple.  




Our take on a ploughman's lunch.  It's one of our favorite meals when we are traveling. Low on prep, but pretty tasty.  

I've sewn for at least an hour most days I've been here.  




I've a nice stack of bits and pieces of the SAHRR pinwheel blocks ready to finish.

  



Each 3" finished block has 20 pieces, so it takes a bit to finish just one pinwheel. I've got one more set of HSTs to add to this pile of parts.  I'll probably get those stitched today.  Once those 6 blocks are finished, I just need 5 more to finish the last pieced border for the SAHRR.  

This is the first time I've tried stitching on the road. Since Grad Girl still has to work most days, it's been nice to have something to keep me busy till she gets home.  Now that I've got it figured out, it may play a more prominent role in our road trips.  We'll see how My Guy takes that.  

Linking up with the Monday Design Wall and Patchwork & Quilts linky parties this week.
