Still Raining But The Gardens Still Growing

 We're still getting rain in spurts everyday & there's more in the forecast into the new week ahead,today wasn't to bad so I managed to get some daylillies into the Lilly bed, tomatoes& squash planted, hopefully I can work on some more tomorrow as there's a table full of more to be planted

On a sewing note there's plans to finish some quilt  binding, go through the quilt tops & see which ones will be lap size or add more blocks or borders to enlarge them

All Plants Deserve A Second Chance 😄

 

The lavender foxglove that I rescued from Lowes garden centers death row is beginning to bloom,death row is a sad place for plants they are no longer allowed sunshine,water or care ,some don't make it 🥲 so the next time you're at Lowe's be sure to visit these plants at the back of the garden center ,all they need is a little luv , fresh dirt & a drink of water to help them live out their best life 🤣

When You Just Gotta Sew Something

 I haven't gotten into any big projects since finishing the church house quilt,I've been diving into deep cleaning & culling out,I did finish getting the binding ready to stitch down on the blue take 5 quilt,today I pulled out a big bag of scraps & made a few more scrappy blocks



There are now 74 of these blocks,these got started when I decided to give those same ole same ole scraps another chance,my great grand niece & nephew are visiting  their gigi " my niece" they will stay with me within the next  few days while shes at work so not too sure how much sewing I'll get into,maybe in the evenings if they don't wear me down 😄
