I'm currently working on outlining the big churches on Leslie's (my neighbor) quilt,I luv this batting& how its giving a little puff when I stitch an outline around them



April I had 2 finishes ,Livvys & Casons quilts,I was hoping to finish binding on 2 others but hey there's a whole new month in front of me right? In case you missed it, here's a few pics from their photo shoot lol

Who Let The Squirrel In?πŸ˜„

 Not only did the squirrel get in,it took me down the rabbit hole πŸ˜„ letting my fingers rest up before getting back to hand stitching ,I thought I'd pull the red & white blocks back out


The original plan is a 7x8 layout yeilding (56) 12" 9 patch blocks,looking at the fabric I have left it doesn't look like there's enough fabric for 56 blocks,strips of (2 reds & (1) white & (2) whites & (1) red are sewn together & cut into 4 1/2" strips,each  yield 9 giving 3 blocks from each section 



Figuring out how many sections for a block with what's left its not adding up,I have more red but no more white


I really don't want a lap size in this because its a more expensive fabric & to fancy for snuggling lol,iif you can enlarge the pic you can see the rose imprints throughout,I've thought about maybe cutting  it down to 2 1/2" squares& possibly adding red prints 🀷but for now I think it needs to go back to the closet ,outta sight outta mind& focus  on the church house quilt πŸ˜„

Beauty In The Rain

 We've had scattered showers off ,& on all day,there was a break between 10:00 & 12:00 ,all the signs on the weather app was there so my niece & me decided to make a run for it,all was well untill 5 minutes into being back to the car here came the rain,the only only that made it out dry was the baby all covered up inside her stroller 🀣 ,once back home I gave GraceπŸ• & Sadie πŸ• a bath& when the rain subsided we took Sadie πŸ• home, the rains supposed to linger all week ,so nothing to do but quilt! quilt! quilt!

A Change Of Plans

 Hanging out in my pj's all day stitching with moderate cleaning lol turned into picking Sadie πŸ•up,Ms Molly texted asking if I could keep Sadie as they had an emergency & had to go to Tenn. ,Grace πŸ•was excited to say the least so quilting turned into a park adventure& later this evening  a walk with my neighbors, hoping to get some stitching in tomorrow evening

How Does Your Garden Grow?
