JUST CHECKING IN

                 I am finally finished with making 16-Patches Squared
                        from my jelly roll strips...

                   I have ended up with 38 blocks...
                               these are the last 8 (above)
                        They comprise the lightest group of centers..
                            And, as yet, I have no idea what 
                                     I will be making with them...

**********************************************

FYI:
I have been battling vertigo for the past few days...and have been
avoiding cutting (!) and machine sewing (!). I have no idea what has
triggered this condition, but I am starting to feel better today...

30 DAYS OF MAY, ET AL

        [sorry for the dark photo]
                                                   The Merry Month of May 30 blocks...
                                                                      (re-arranged)

Here are some of the latest ones:  ↓↓↓

                                   I have no idea where I will be going with
                                       this BAD (block-a-day) as yet.....

GARDEN BLOOMS:

                           My light purple irises are now coming out
and..............

                                       Rhodie coming into its own....
                                       by the front corner of our house ....

                              Lots of new growth going on here on my
                                  Colorado Blue Spruce, too

                                       And,    Peonies still tightly asleep

                         Japanese Iris just about ready to burst into bloom

                  Nice, that Spring has finally come to our 
                            little home on the hill....

**********************************************

                                                 Lighter 16 patches....
                                            Five more sets of these to go....
*******************************************************************************
A coolish , sunny morning has dawned here...
I hope your Sunday is a restful one,

Stay safe all

TWO MORE SWEET 16 PATCHES

                                                  Two Jelly Roll 16-Patches Squared

I have five prepped up now ready to be sewn: Since Each pair of strips makes two 
large blocks that will make 10 more; 
they measure up to around 13" when boxed in....

                   I think I have used up all of my soft, light green fat quarters
                                          for the triangle corners...
                              So these may be the last ones I make...
                   I do have quite a few strips left--and they are all very light...

This older jelly roll was Three Sisters by Moda...I think it is so pretty...and it had
been in my stash for quite a while....
so I am very happy to be using it up ;)))

***************************************************

We had a beautiful sunny day here, after our morning fog burned off--
but now that cool ocean breeze has come up once again, so we have
moved in off our deck...and I have put on my fleece!!!;000

*********************************************************
Will you be watching the manned Space Launch at 4:30 this afternoon???
We are so looking forward to watching...actually something on tv worth
seeing for a change...

THURSDAY TOTALS

                     Luckily, I saved this one square for my Merry Month of May...
                   this is for the 13th and will be doing today's block later....

**********************************

                                             Four new 16-Patch Squared ....
                             I love how those leaves in the top left one
                                just came together--
                                   totally serendipity....;))) 
                                      12 of these done...

****************************************
And something beautiful to raise your spirits as it did mine;)))⇊⇊⇊

                   Here is the Mother's Day and Birthday bouquet my son
                       and family sent me....
                           I love those little white roses 
                                  and the snapdragons...;)))


***********************************

                    I now have 63 Courthouse Steps made.....
                      (7 by 9 = 63 ) which doesn't even come close
                        to covering even just the
                          top of our king bed....

                             I have put these on a bit of a hold ----
                               while I set up to quilt the SIL's 
                                 "Sailing into the Future" quilt
                                    I hope to set up Helga for
                                      quilting tomorrow, and work on it through
                                           this weekend...

  I want to get  this off of my dining table and get it D O N E!!!

**************************************************
We, at least, have a nice sunny day today (not even thinking about
the storms headed our way for tonight and tomorrow!!); 000
I hope to take a little stroll around my yard to see 
what is going on (if anything)
with my various little garden spots...

I hope you are staying safe ---
