in the garden

Not much has been going on in my sewing room, but I thought I'd show

you where I have been….in the garden : )

Ready to plant!

I planted two lilac bushes.

Geraniums for the front pots.

There is still some space for annuals to plant….soon!

Hope you are enjoying your neck of the woods.

big stitch time

I am adding some big stitches to another quilt : )

I finished the machine quilting, leaving a blank row for some big stitches

and I like the way it looks!

I hope to finish soon, but I haven't decided on "scrappy" or "solid" binding.

What would you do?

scrappy trip along finished

I finally finished my scrappy trip along quilt!

It is so colorful that it makes me happy to look at it : )

I quilted with big stitches using variegated crochet thread.

The binding is scrappy too.

It is a lap-size quilt, the perfect size for sitting on the porch.

quick curves ruler color play

I purchased a Quick Curves ruler and could't wait to try it out, so I pulled

some solids and had some fun!

I think I like it!  I will probably machine quilt with straight lines, but

I am trying to decide if I want to use variegated thread or not : )

a little improv

I am having some fun playing with solids and improv piecing!

I don't know where it is going, but I am enjoying the bright colors of the journey : )

big stitches on a dreary day

Today is cold and dreary....a good day for stitching my neglected scrappy trip along quilt.

Now if I could just keep my cat off of my lap! : )
