I didn't think I'd be able to pull this off, but I actually completed my March goal last night. Here are all the border pieces for my For the Love of Geese quilt. Woo hoo! Progress!
I need to surrender my sewing machine for an overdue cleaning, and it will likely be gone for several weeks 😰, so my goal for April will be to get the binding sewn down on my Morewood Mystery quilt. I have no reason other than pure laziness for why this isn't done yet. I've even been using it as-is. It's time to get it done.
I've still been busy with quilts. Here is a sneak peak (of the backing, which is so cool) of one of the quilts from this week. It belongs to Charlene and is going home today.
Other than that, not much is going on around here. We are getting more rain and a cold snap, which always seems to happen right as our cherry tree blossoms. We usually only have a few days to enjoy the blossoms before Mother Nature kills them off. We did notice various bees on the blossoms last night and we have a few dandelions in the yard too. 😊 The crab apple trees, along with most of the other trees, are starting to leaf out. My daffodils are still going strong at this point. They've handled high winds and heavy rains in the past week. Hopefully they survive the next bit of weather.I don't watch a ton of television, maybe an hour or so in the evening, but I have enjoyed the series Superstore, which ended for good last week. I've also been watching as many back episodes as my Passport subscription allows of Finding Your Roots on PBS. The other PBS show I really enjoyed recently is All Creatures Great & Small. I read the series of books years ago and I loved the show. I was sad there were so few episodes. I'll need to find something new to watch soon.
Anyway, thanks for reading. Have a great week!
Stopping by from Elm Street Quilts OMG, I just had to see what those gorgeous little bits of colour were for. Looking forward to seeing them on the border of For the Love of Geese.
ReplyDeleteDon't you love how these link ups push us? Sorry you'll be without your machine--separation anxiety! And omgosh yes I LOVE All Creatures Great and Small!! Read the first 2 years ago (need to finish them sometimes) so I was glued to the tv for that. Hubs even joined me and now we both are dying (as are my siblings) for season 2...no idea when that is. (Of course, I knew all along he ends up getting the girl but hubs did not so it was funny to sit and watch him guess what was going on.)
ReplyDeleteLovely. Thanks for linking up with Elm Street Quilts One Monthly Goal and congrats on your project!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on hitting your OMG with your Love of Geese quilt, and YES, your beautiful Morewood Mystery deserves binding. Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteThe quilting is gorgeous. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteThose flying geese and all the spectacular bright colors. It is going to be a great quilt when done. Spring has definitely sprung in your area. We've got a week of nice weather. Today is a get outside and walk day.
ReplyDeleteYour blocks and the quilting on your and Charlene's quilt is fabulous. No flowers here unless you consider wild violets, have you ever made jelly from them? Thank you for linking up, sorry for my absence lately.
