may challenge

 summer IS coming...we've had a few 80+ degree day already...and may day is going to be another...




chookshed challenge number has been announced!  

8.  red/green applique.  a visit to the baltimore applique society initiated this project--i'm making 4 blocks (2 done) shooting for a finish next this Christmas.


my red/green applique project....if it hadn't been chosen i was going to swap out for this one...these days sometimes too warm to sit with large quilt on my lap, more comfy to do some applique.  working on block #3 now and quite possible to get them all done, squared up and maybe even basted?  

as for machine sewing this month, hoping to empty a shoebox of scraps for more blocks i hope to sell....vacation is looming--a mere 82 days away--and fun money is definitely required.  

no plans for mother's day so most likely will order a special dinner for delivery....and today?  a start on apartment clean before summer arrives in earnest....remember to count your blessings and have a good day...

  6. We did have some really warm days for April, except over Easter weekend, haha. May has been pretty cool here, though. It has been nice.
