Making Progress, Making Changes

 April is beginning to be a very busy month. I like nothing better than having plenty to do. I'm frantically working on projects in the sewing room. Before long, the yard and garden work will take priority and sewing will be relegated to the back burner. It's a double edged sword. We all want warmer weather, but there's a lot of work maintaining yards and gardens for home owners. I'm fortunate I have limited help. And it's much appreciated, but it doesn't minimize how much there is to do. But as every year, it will all get done . . . eventually :)

 


We've had erratic weather. Warm, cold, frosty. This week isn't too bad with temps during the day ranging from 50s to 70s.

Rain, high winds are contributing a lot of debris to the yards that needs cleaned up. Which, of course, I'm putting off as long as possible :)

Sew . . . 

We  sew :)
 

 
 I finished stitching Fridaisy and began Saturdaisy.


A new baby quilt top is finished.

I purchased the center panel as a set of four. The first one made a pillow that I bring out every Spring/Easter. As I was looking for small Easter projects, I ran across the remaining three. I had always intended to make more pillows, but wasn't really feeling them any more.

I had just finished participating in the SAHRR (Stay At Home Round Robin) and thought these would make adorable baby quilts. So one down, two and three are in progress. They will be very similar to this one with the exception of some of the fabrics. I'm working through my stash and sticking very close to using what I have. That has been the case for these. No new purchases made.

I am very please with the end result.

 

I had an errand to run to a local store. And this barn is along their entrance drive. It's a beautiful store and location. They are in the process of putting in a park/playground on the property. Check them out here:  P. Graham Dunn

They have a very inspirational background story.



Spring and Easter are in the air.

 

Until next time . . .

Love that barn! Your yard looks so nice, even before you clear and clean. Maybe I can help a little bit. I need to do more than sit around, but sitting around is what is most comfortable. LOL Maybe there will be a slow task I can do, and it will strengthen my muscles. I make myself do the stairs up and down at home, and sometimes it's easier than others.

I are almost Daisy-done! Those are cute baby quilt projects, too, though I've only seen this one. I get to see them all soon! I leave a week from tomorrow. =)
