Well, one half.

I had promised myself I wouldn't until I got some of the quilts finished that have been waiting. Even setting a one monthly goal (OMG) has been enough to keep me motivated. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">This new project is from <a href="https://beeinmybonnetco.blogspot.com/">Lori Holt</a> and it's called Bee Vintage. It's simple applique and isn't very challenging. I got caught up in it through membership in a Facebook Group. It's cute, and will be quick to finish. I'm managing to keep up. My choice of fabrics is 1930s reproduction/tiny prints. The project is in its fourth week and we are doing three blocks per week with a total of 20 blocks. There is a requirement to purchase the template shapes in order to do the images. And there is the suggestion with every block that you can make a whole quilt with that particular image.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Here are the blocks I have done so far:</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The shop had this table and chairs sitting out front. It was painted in a teal blue and rust :) We discussed it on the way home and thought it was a really good buy ($75). So I called the next day and let them know that we would be back later that day to pick it up. We decided on a dark (forest) green for the repaint. Honey Do did a little welding on one of the chairs and we have a great set for our deck.

I've linked you to the introduction of the quilt along. If you've never used her templates, you are in for a treat. I don't get paid to endorse any products, but I really love these. They are not inexpensive, but I think they are really worth it. As I go along, I will be labeling the templates so I know how they were used. The shapes are numbered, but that's all. <br /></div><br /> </span><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq95wXafIQu7Hf4eWEtJ_XGH3UCkv6WdO-pxOOmuYTvV0M5uOAYgXvTqLpO8zhMwjRfB2h8y38aWpQWLo3M3RMLhOLgfrWIw-ZW0euyTb_L2STjUFPSoDpkbVf9830B_y5IpNbMwMgI_LGeKfxgBpCl7aU9ZGIb5Hu4SFXbaG6vMlmfx-Yhql2h2ySa98/s4160/Lori%20Holt%20-%20Vintage%20-%20fabrics.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4160" data-original-width="3120" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq95wXafIQu7Hf4eWEtJ_XGH3UCkv6WdO-pxOOmuYTvV0M5uOAYgXvTqLpO8zhMwjRfB2h8y38aWpQWLo3M3RMLhOLgfrWIw-ZW0euyTb_L2STjUFPSoDpkbVf9830B_y5IpNbMwMgI_LGeKfxgBpCl7aU9ZGIb5Hu4SFXbaG6vMlmfx-Yhql2h2ySa98/w300-h400/Lori%20Holt%20-%20Vintage%20-%20fabrics.jpg" width="300" /></a> </span><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">These are some of the new fabrics I picked up over the weekend when Sister and I went shopping for supplies for this and the Woolie Gnome quilt. The quilt along began this week and I started by using fabrics in my stash and scraps of 1930s reproduction prints. But my supplies were limited and I wanted/needed to add more. I'm very excited. Sister helped me (her suggestion) to sort through and label where I wanted to use the fabrics. How sweet is she? She was having a good time playing with the fabrics and helping make the decisions. This is not a mystery quilt along, so we were able to look at each block and decide what would go with what block. There are three blocks per week, simple shapes, easy applique.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Woolie Gnome - Block 12 <br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiinLtXZ6f14OPP-lyXWmhjTzX88oUlTYDp6Co8Q-9q8OIwNpynKGpc1nEwYuQXIWbOvzgioJcWbTo0M-pmKCOn_XAHWsy7lYkjBYEC9ppM2OeZ5_YEgH-bVDFMQXN8uwpTVabaKA3-o0NJkZDuHz6anzzMAvMu0GLSjNB57QZni0n4SqFiOdcsr0CFeS4/s4160/Wool%20Gnome%20-%20Block%2012.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3120" data-original-width="4160" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiinLtXZ6f14OPP-lyXWmhjTzX88oUlTYDp6Co8Q-9q8OIwNpynKGpc1nEwYuQXIWbOvzgioJcWbTo0M-pmKCOn_XAHWsy7lYkjBYEC9ppM2OeZ5_YEgH-bVDFMQXN8uwpTVabaKA3-o0NJkZDuHz6anzzMAvMu0GLSjNB57QZni0n4SqFiOdcsr0CFeS4/w400-h300/Wool%20Gnome%20-%20Block%2012.jpg" width="400" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">We're not quite in the home stretch yet. This is block 12, but there are still four more larger blocks to be stitched. They are all drawn off and pieces cut out. We cut more background fabrics over the weekend and made a shopping list of embellishments we need and don't have. I just love this little lamb looking so adoringly at baby Jesus. The designer did a great job. This was just a great project for using those tiny bits of scrap wool.

It was a scary and exciting time. Our forever home (at least on this earth). This is where we will retire (I already have) and die here. Our goals are simple, take this time now and make the home for whoever is left as done and secure as possible so nothing major has to be fixed or replaced beyond normal maintenance. We the roof the first autumn. Next is replacing the boiler. Doors and windows seem to be okay for now. We may or may not do them in the future.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">In the meantime, it's spring, middle of May. That means gardens and yard work have begun in full force. And there are lots of them. How many will remain is still under consideration. The front flower garden is huge and may need to be downsized at some point. They all need cleaned up from fall and winter.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">The last couple of weeks has me focused on the vegetable garden.

Once I quilt them, two will go to two little girls that moved in next door as welcome gifts, the other two will become donations.

This is more because it's been needing it for quite some time and not as much about the visit. You know, things that you just put off doing or plan on doing and just never seem to get to. This has also been a really good time to deal with things that just need to leave and haven't. My tendency is to plan to deal with things by "finishing" projects, but there are always more accumulating. And space is at a premium, so putting things away is always a challenge for me. But I will continue to muddle forward. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj84sh7H1sGnsHHxTovHJ0_CwGY73x6e8MyEaoozfoJF4qyTCChHOky2agXeDtCBi9NUDvsVnl_LkELeCS2I-R_z9WkJ1ajfz_4rh7Z2v1XJKFrCIFjoXVd3XRWTx9XkIpUOVSfVk4-PJfKDnOGdyWG_SL60x9Wg-BLIaVSU2q7ZZIPnnNPZ5G84eyP/s4160/Tulips%20-%20pink%202.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4160" data-original-width="3120" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj84sh7H1sGnsHHxTovHJ0_CwGY73x6e8MyEaoozfoJF4qyTCChHOky2agXeDtCBi9NUDvsVnl_LkELeCS2I-R_z9WkJ1ajfz_4rh7Z2v1XJKFrCIFjoXVd3XRWTx9XkIpUOVSfVk4-PJfKDnOGdyWG_SL60x9Wg-BLIaVSU2q7ZZIPnnNPZ5G84eyP/w300-h400/Tulips%20-%20pink%202.jpg" width="300" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">While I'm "cleaning" I will also be sewing.

This is my vegetable garden. It's not clean and definitely in progress. Consequently I'm getting little to nothing done in the sewing room. This week is going to be colder again and wet. Last week, the temperatures got into the mid to upper 70s and I think we even hit an 80 toward the end of the week. Honey Do can't sit still for even a minute, so lots of garden work has been accomplished.

Together we scrubbed it down and placed it in the yard. It's where we take the dogs to play (they get tied up because they don't want to stay in the yard). We stay outside with them and this will now give up permanent seating instead of the little garden bench you also see in the photo (oops!). I've already ordered seat cushions :) Isn't it sweet?</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpnsHRbDXvQliPWyR52iZo0zqavgehJbsPI8C3oPV82lODqrfl1y2uWcIlWGgruJugjR7MAW7V4fZuYxrEo94F2gwwuRYzJqKmOO53mKppgnM0gzVDE-WtFbhc-gSLb03vblwPBWz3kCrbSWC0NdoyZbEwZHYUUsCYKTgH60i580JZVzZuR8TvDQlM/s4160/Spring%20log%20splitting.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4160" data-original-width="3120" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpnsHRbDXvQliPWyR52iZo0zqavgehJbsPI8C3oPV82lODqrfl1y2uWcIlWGgruJugjR7MAW7V4fZuYxrEo94F2gwwuRYzJqKmOO53mKppgnM0gzVDE-WtFbhc-gSLb03vblwPBWz3kCrbSWC0NdoyZbEwZHYUUsCYKTgH60i580JZVzZuR8TvDQlM/w300-h400/Spring%20log%20splitting.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">There will always be outside chores.

Happy is a group I joined to help encourage the use of scraps from our
stash and to encourage each other to use what we have. I find that
relatively easy to do as I'm trying not to add any unnecessary purchases
to my stash. As I sit and write this, I'm looking at my stash and
seeing lots of older, tired fabrics that just need to be used up or
destashed. Most of the pieces are less than a yard.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">So what scrappy goodness did I manage in the last month?</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"> Let's see . . . </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxCTHsWmfklNaYH5v-65oicAUfCrcqX6RjJUeKdl9VQdqlQua66MerzIlw35hBksozlb21yWRU-L2jpdUztlsnAWkNMlSVh7N7FYQtLws6jmSmhMelO-9hIy7gpLgG8BVlLz6F1dud8MBm5zsFADERgQCtCkGSygpagAZ9o_Sv-WXKe2ZFJhIEX8eK/s4160/Hedge%20Hug%20%233.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4160" data-original-width="3120" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxCTHsWmfklNaYH5v-65oicAUfCrcqX6RjJUeKdl9VQdqlQua66MerzIlw35hBksozlb21yWRU-L2jpdUztlsnAWkNMlSVh7N7FYQtLws6jmSmhMelO-9hIy7gpLgG8BVlLz6F1dud8MBm5zsFADERgQCtCkGSygpagAZ9o_Sv-WXKe2ZFJhIEX8eK/w300-h400/Hedge%20Hug%20%233.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPxFHMmIrmUmsXeTL003OEHcmX1dCmElffSIXuWCtL5L6vm8TyM8qQkR-FMad9STKNPhSv8QWVvmn1qixdPGocraPGZpRt0QPsMNrUpo3rJ1yYX512ljbFw-5BtVh-BD7CHLMVtH-EIwBDCYRWTTrXzuA7_GeX6X0-H0CyEK5UXkJl3KuMBJGkCL0B/s4160/Hedge%20Hugs%20%232.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3120" data-original-width="4160" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPxFHMmIrmUmsXeTL003OEHcmX1dCmElffSIXuWCtL5L6vm8TyM8qQkR-FMad9STKNPhSv8QWVvmn1qixdPGocraPGZpRt0QPsMNrUpo3rJ1yYX512ljbFw-5BtVh-BD7CHLMVtH-EIwBDCYRWTTrXzuA7_GeX6X0-H0CyEK5UXkJl3KuMBJGkCL0B/w400-h300/Hedge%20Hugs%20%232.jpg" width="400" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Hedge Hugs 2 and 3 </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">These are so cute and I love the nine patches for some added interest, yet stay simple for a baby quilt.

I used that process to make these. I am thrilled with the end results.

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 :)</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgij_jOcah1P9UQkhVbTuJqJQkklgESXAsOlA9r2dfLYbB7kkJ57Y0pdElr-JZdrACJnUQ4KCeX_LZvZ6VXa-PCjZJcQSXq9zU3EO-BL9lUXU0huKaNOyAqpfI5lrjrzfi8Kv1nlPhCOo2_MkCTI8ZU2-99X3hCrZjqb7QTVgORo6FEwYdX6Sztrpx-/s4160/Frosty%20Spriing%20Sunrise.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4160" data-original-width="3120" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgij_jOcah1P9UQkhVbTuJqJQkklgESXAsOlA9r2dfLYbB7kkJ57Y0pdElr-JZdrACJnUQ4KCeX_LZvZ6VXa-PCjZJcQSXq9zU3EO-BL9lUXU0huKaNOyAqpfI5lrjrzfi8Kv1nlPhCOo2_MkCTI8ZU2-99X3hCrZjqb7QTVgORo6FEwYdX6Sztrpx-/w300-h400/Frosty%20Spriing%20Sunrise.jpg" width="300" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9gvB000hfpL5RJABIFeebbcIlmQgw1NhvEbAk9Z3TlSNCiuee_Mlnc7k3ZxuzPRRnn5XyhKPQ7E-rcLmlt55FAJvLIFdOr_-P4wv-IC9JYJpPrHasYGUgP1jWVfnpu-vAtw9TcS2kdznEYWdvqzW2rJ6hly5-pzpBqBYUop0o-OZNDlw5asA9fEb4/s4160/Frosty%20Spring%20Burnoff.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4160" data-original-width="3120" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9gvB000hfpL5RJABIFeebbcIlmQgw1NhvEbAk9Z3TlSNCiuee_Mlnc7k3ZxuzPRRnn5XyhKPQ7E-rcLmlt55FAJvLIFdOr_-P4wv-IC9JYJpPrHasYGUgP1jWVfnpu-vAtw9TcS2kdznEYWdvqzW2rJ6hly5-pzpBqBYUop0o-OZNDlw5asA9fEb4/w300-h400/Frosty%20Spring%20Burnoff.jpg" width="300" /></a></div></span><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">We've had erratic weather.

It sat for a while before I sandwiched it. I used poly batting, because at the time it's what I had on hand and it needed to be used up. I had it on a hand quilt rack to be hand quilted, but just never got into it. Honey Do even bought me a tv to keep me company while I worked on it. Just never did. I packed it up when we moved. Last month, I asked my sister to choose a box from among the UFOs, and this is the one she chose.
