I quilted another tiny table mat (left) yesterday. It's the same size as the one from the day before. The piecing was done a few years ago, now layered, quilted and ready for edge finish.
A few Broken Dishes blocks were sewn, not pressed yet.
I cut several more light fabrics and sewed some more squares for Broken Dishes blocks.
This is the second batch that were sewn. I'm going to have to turn on the iron today.
I think this is one of the ugliest variegated yarns, a sick green in few values. It's kind of the color of pea soup.
My 5 year old great-granddaughter painted a plaster turtle for me to put in my flower bed.
As I was setting up the time for this to post, I realized today is my Blogiversary. I started my blog in 2007 with a little help from a friend. I really didn't know much about blogs at the time. This is the 6796th post. I didn't know anything about labeling my posts in the beginning and now there are 1904 posts under the label Nature, more than anyone would want to look through. Oh, well, there are more pressing problems in the world than that.
Happy Blogaversary, Wanda!
ReplyDeleteYour turtle is adorable…..your great-granddaughter did a good job painting it. I think your green variegated yarn lovely…..maybe my screen makes it look different than in person ;-). Happy blog anniversary!
