Cutting and sewing............


Yesterday morning was cutting time for the pink and green quilt.  This is the new batch that I cut.






There were a few pieces already cut that just needed something to pair with.  I got these ready to sew and then exchanged the pink ones from the top left and bottom right corners with each other.  All were sewn last night, 6 in each pile.  Now it is time to turn on the iron.


This is the before photo of the Lenten Rose area.... and







this is after I cleaned up the area and edged the bed with some cast stone pieces.  The white spots on the leaves is the sun filtering through the red Weigela bush from the right of this bed.

It was predicted to be in the mid 50s yesterday but it got up to 65 degrees here.  I pulled weeds in several areas in addition to cleaning up this bed.

  2. So many green/pink "pretties" you've got sewn together there;)))
    56 here and spotty rain...
    Good news, it isn't mold in our crawl space...just needs to be dried and swept off...
    Meanwhile, more tests at MD's coming up .....;000

  3. I have got so many weeds/tree seedlings to pull that I know I will never get it done.

  6. I've started webbing my pink and green but life got in the way again (dratted Paper Tiger). Hope to have a quilt top to share very soon! Loving the greens you've shared (indoors and out) and we all know how I feel about pink (grin).

  8. I love the green and blue striped fabric. It adds a nice zing! That was a lot of work on your hands and knees fixing up the Lenten Roses but it looks so nice! Mine need some TLC!
