Sewing and digging...........

I sewed some of the parts together for Triangles #2.  Then I went outside and starting digging out the roots of volunteer trees and bushes.  I had been just cutting off the trees and it left a little stump that I kept tripping over, not just one but several.  I also tore out a bunch of the periwinkle vinca.  It has taken over my front flower bed.



I was too tired last night to think about anything so I pulled out the box of clipped rows of this colorwash and started putting it back up on the design wall.  There are 5 more rows left in the box.  This one has the little 1.5" x 3" finished rectangles and I haven't cut a full selection of them yet.  That is why I didn't get it finished last year.  Now I can cut the 6" triangles that I need and also cut the rectangles while I have the fabric out.

I am still digging out my sewing room and finding things I forgot I had started. Hopefully today we will start on the carpet. My digging is different than yours, but It is all work that needs doing. Chris

Love the color wash colors! What a great idea- cut two quilts pulling out fabric once. The triangles are a joy to watch form into a quilt!

I have so many new little trees coming up that I can't keep up with them. I pull some up that are tiny and then find one a short way away that is already close to 2 feet! the ground is so hard and thick with roots in places - I will need to get a foam spray to take care of this and just take care to not get on other plants

Always so good to cut more than one project at a time when you can! I really like those rectangles in the colorwash. So pretty!
