Busy, Busy

Do you feel like time is flying and you can't keep up? I do!  I spend nice days outside getting my flower pots planted, and not so nice days inside doing household chores... where does sewing time fit in?!

All the pots are planted now, so I'm crossing my fingers that everything grows. Then I'll show you some photo's. ;-)

I had my embroidery machine in the shop for two weeks for routine maintenance and cleaning. I got it back last week~excited to get busy!  I did a few headbands for a friend~



But when I went to wind my bobbin, it didn't work! Nothing.  So it went back Monday and I begged for a loaner so I could get some things done. I'll have to get a photo of the loaner. It is such a cute little machine! ;-)

I did get my May HGTV BOM done,

It is called 'Creole Puzzle' and is from Quilters Cache.

And the April Kansas City Star block...

I love the red spools! :-)

And block 3 of Merry Merry Snowmen from Bunny Hill Designs.  We are doing this one as a sew along on HGTV, and I am behind. ;-)  I'm doing mine with wool applique and really like the blocks. I have buttons for the eyes, nose etc and will add those after it is all quilted.



And that catches you up with news from here. I hope you are finding some stitching time!
Happy Spring!

Really love that green block - very interesting layout. Love the colors in the red/white one of course.

I have an embroidery machine and they are finicky sometimes. I have been thinking of getting a cheap machine to use when it needs a fix or tune up, can't stand not having one, lol. You have been really busy with some beautiful blocks.

Love your blocks! We had a bunch of volunteer vegetable plants come up from our compost this year so we now have a nice potted garden. We can't plant anything in the ground because of gopher problems.

Love all the blocks, but the wool block is soooo cute!

Your snowman block is very cute. And I like the soft look of the block with the greens. Has a spring look.

It is amazing how much time the gardens take at this time of the year. Too many things demanding of our precious time!!! LOL

Your blocks look terrific!

I love the busy-ness of Spring, planting, sewing, and puttering! You have lots to show for your endeavors.

Who knew that having a Halloween Hop last week would bring the chilly weather?! We had rain, wind--- the power even went out for a few hours...
