may marches on

finally a good day with sunshine late in day after dreary, gray start...low 80s and sunny tomorrow....just perfect!  today was ideal for advancing various projects.  

the 2nd wheelchair top is done....the charm squares were a long ago senior center donation and found them in a drawer, realizing they were perfect for this project.  all gone now!

some basting got done....


more quilting on s'mores...should definitely be a june finish...

another UFO unearthed and basted...can i get this one done in june as well?  stay tuned...


picked this puzzle up at the senior center...should keep me occupied a while...

dear daughter ferried me to grocery and got some fresh flounder and fresh shrimp, so a couple of seafood meals for a change.  doing some at-home exercises, nowhere near the level i get at the gym but better than none...so i really AM a reformed couch potato!

and it really works!  shopping the stash and not buying really does reduce the piles on the shelf.  noticed this morning when re-shelving some pieces i'd been working with...a great way to start a monday!

  1. Grace, do you have a PC/laptop? Medicare should cover online Silver Sneakers. Find a pair of 3-5 # dumbbells and you're set.

  2. I think I need to make a few wheelchair quilts. Yours are perfect and great to use up orphan blocks and stash. Win-win.

  4. I've been "shopping" at home too. My shelves can yield treasures to keep me occupied forever. I could get in major trouble at cross stitch shops, though; I need to keep myself in check there. You're make some great progress on your UFOs; give yourself a congratulatory pat on the back (that's good PT too!).

  5. Good job on the second wheelchair quilt. And look at all that basting!!
    That puzzle will help keep you cool during the hot summer. ;)
    Shopping stash is what I am trying to do, as well. Now and then I break down when I can't find what I want for a border or sashing.

    Your wheel chair quilts are looking great.
    Great positive attitude about shopping the stash.
