Days Go By

Even though it has only been four days since my last post it seems like forever since I have done one. The days are just a blur. I can tell spring is here. I was able to  take some time to attend Modern Quilt Therapy. We did a basket exchange. I made these three little baskets. One I made for the exchange, one for the group facilitator, and one for Laura, my awesome machine quilter. Laura got the blue one.

I got the pattern for this basket at SewMamaSew. If you try to make one of these cute little baskets I will warn you that making the square bottom was a challenge. I received this very pretty basket in the exchange.

 My days have mostly been spent planting and repotting seedling to bigger pots.

 And cleaning up the garden. If you look close you can see some green stick like things coming up from the soil. It is asparagus.

 Here is the garden with most of the beds empty so far. I just went out today to cover a few of them with row covers. I have potatoes, lettuce, and carrots growing.We are going to get some cold weather again. Down in the 30's at night for the next three nights. I hope our blueberry flowers survive.

 This weekend was spent helping Mr. P. whittle this pile of wood down. It used to be taller than me. He would cut and I would stack. While he was cutting I was cleaning the garage. It was a big mess after all the home renovations. That took me two days to do. Next weekend Mr. P. hopes to get that pile completely done. That is wood that we cleared out to put the garden in a two years ago. Other things were more important to work on. Now Mr. P. wants to get a roof over the rain tank. In the summer it gets really hot. Now that we are done inside we will be working on the outside of our place.

 I really haven't felt like doing much sewing. I think I am just too tired by the end of the day. I am trying to get two quilts bound.

 I want to enter them in our quilt show which our guild is putting on in May.

 Since I haven't been doing any sewing to show you I will show you some quilts from the Modern Quilt Therapy group. This first quilt is the one that the each of us is making. I still have 24 blocks to make. Our facilitator got hers done. It is a pattern from a Quilty magazine.

 Here is the back of hers. I love that yellow fabric.

 One of the other members finished hers already. I just love her fabrics.

 And here are some more quilts from show and tell. Enjoy!

With Passion,
