I've hand quilted 3 blocks so far and
I am working on the 4th (top L).
I am mostly working on these when
I find myself inexplicably awake
at 3 in the morning!!
(hence the title).
********************
Here is a picture of how we put
our garden to bed
last Fall for
the winter
months...
and now that our garden guy has
come and dug it all out and seeded this
spot with grass and covered it with
straw...
Here is its state now--
We will be watering 2x/day until the grass appears...
He is due to return to finish off replanting the
strip along our garage that abuts the front
walkway...soon...
Meantime, one lone daffodil is
holding court there...
*********************
Last Monday.....
I opened this old jelly roll of
20 fabrics
and
😀😊
Here's what's happening!!
👀😉👀
These box-ey blocks are
really fun to sew
together...
I found 4 more jelly rolls that each have
42 strips and i will see if I can find
easy, fun patterns with minimal
cutting to use them up....
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
For those of you who asked
what's going on
With my "Dark Days"
K3N project..
????
Well it is up on my wall
as is...
And after
I watched this Wednesday's
K3N YouTube video I
gave one little star block
a try by hand...
and...
N O P E
it was a total mess...
SOooo, I decided to make my own
stars using Helga--and why not?
My poor hands just could not manage
doing all that...
disaster result--super wonky !!!
the other two are machined...
I am planning on making a few more
and will be watching next Wednesday
to see how K3N attaches them...
(if I end up doing that!!).
*******************
Very warm here this afternoon--66
and sunny--Tom filled our Garden planter
with stones and soil this afternoon
after he got his ok from the MD
this morning...
Now I am waiting for plants to
appear in our nursery--still a bit early
here on the southeastern
coastal area of CT...
I want to try tomatoes, lettuces
and a few herbs:
basil, tarragon and parsley...
We've placed it at the sunniest corner of
our back deck...One more layer of soil
will be added to give the plants
plenty of depth...
[Tomatoes: Brandywine, Sungold
Lettuce: Buttercrunch, Green Romaine]
I hope your weekend will be a good one...
hugs, Julierose
