Such a dreary, rainy day here in KC. Good for the soil, not so good for the soul. Gloomy weather does make for good sewing time, though. I am all caught up on the Farmers Market BOMs. The photo looks kinda washed out--I think it is much brighter in "real life" but it's hard to get a good pic inside.Now I can get back to my Civil War Diary blocks. I am having a tussle with myself though. I started out gallantly hand-piecing them and consequently, have not completed very many!!!! I am thinking of wimping out and machine-stitching the rest. It would be nice, though, to have that handwork to take out on the deck and sew. Yes, I do believe nice weather will appear again someday; I am an optimist LOL! The other thing weighing on my mind is the amount of items I DO NOT have sewn for the June guild quilt show. Need to come up with a mini or a baby quilt for the charity silent auction and a few things for the quilters' boutique. No rest for the wicked, as Mom used to say!

This is better every time. Love those PIES!
That is such a neat pattern! You are being good and keeping up :o) I also have some must do sewing for June, and it is so hard to bring myself to do it. I hate working on a deadline.
Your Farmer's Market is looking great! I am waaaaayyy behind on this quilt. I have the first 2 blocks fused but not sewn and that's it. I better catch up before May's block LOL!
I am faithfully printing out the patterns. That is about all I can say.
Your project is coming along nicely.
Thank goodness for the dreary weather! It gives you time to create!
We were promised a rainy day here - but it never materialized. RATS! Your Farmers Market quilt is looking great. Can't wait to see all the things you enter in your show *s*
Please be sure and post the date for your quilt show -- I went last year and it was a great show. I don't want to miss it.
What a fun quilt of all things we think of summer, veggies, herbs and canning for the winter. This quilt is awesome.
I hope you get some sun soon. They are calling for rain the next couple of days here too.
I say go ahead and machine piece those civil war blocks - they really are fun! I bet you can find another handpiecing project!
your blog is beautiful...and thank you for stopping by mine and entering my giveaway! your visit is appreciated!
Love those farmer's blocks! I have not started on civil war blocks either, although I did break down and buy the book...
