Another week has flown by. It's been a busy one. We're nearing the end of school and the end of college, so there are a lot of events coming up. My son's academic honors was Monday night. He was recognized for five trimesters of 4.0+ GPA and also received an academic excellence award for pre-calc.
I've managed a bit of personal sewing. Here is this week's progress on the Swiss Star QAL.
I got to sew with my small guild friends on Saturday. We were working on a project called Bedford Tiles that a local woman presented to us. It's basically a variation of Bonnie Hunter's trip around the world quilt. As of Sunday afternoon, I have all my strip sets sewn. Next I have to sew the strip sets into tubes, then cut them up and unsew certain seams. It might be a bit before I get back to this one.
You can see I was also working on my Log Cabin Stars quilt.
I've quilted several more quilts and finished some of the binding. My Lucey decided she needed a few days off (random long stitches, no explanation, went away after it sat a few days 🤷🏻♀️).
I quilted Linda's quilt with Toss Up.
This one also belongs to Linda and is quilted with Radiance.
The next two belong to Toni. This one is quilted with A Fishy Tail.
And this one is quilted with Starry.
I'll probably be quilting most every day for the next few weeks. Keeps me out of trouble I guess.
I was able to get the rest of the vegetable garden tanks weeded and planted peas and lettuce. I also planted thyme, dill, and parsley in one of my Aerogardens. The dill and parsley are because I found some pre-planted tubes that I figured needed to be grown. I also started bell peppers and tomatoes in the other Aerogarden using the seed starter insert.
Our crabapple trees have put on a marvelous show this year.
I've had a few tulips pop up and there are still a good handful of daffodils blooming.
I'm planning to spend a day this weekend getting the lower flower garden into shape.
I attended a trade show/convention thing with my husband yesterday and saw a smiley face in the clouds on the way back home.
The April OMG finish link up will open next week Wednesday, so the regular blog post will be on Thursday next week.
Spring is always a busy time of year, I'm not sure how you fit in gardening. Happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteFabulous quilting, Anne-Marie! Your son has done well, perfect, in fact!!! Congrats to him, and you!!
ReplyDeleteThe Swiss Star QAL captured my attention. I never can resist bright colors. They are so cheerful. Love the fish tails quilting pantograph - so whimsical.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Gwyned. I can't respond to you directly. I think the quilt the fish tails is stitched on is a memory quilt for someone.
