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!
ReplyDeleteThat 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.
ReplyDeleteYour 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!
ReplyDeleteI am faithfully printing out the patterns. That is about all I can say.
ReplyDeleteYour project is coming along nicely.
Thank goodness for the dreary weather! It gives you time to create!
ReplyDeleteWe 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*
ReplyDeletePlease 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.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun quilt of all things we think of summer, veggies, herbs and canning for the winter. This quilt is awesome.
ReplyDeleteI 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!
