My Friday finish is a wool runner from 2013. I decided not to quilt it. I finished the floss work and attached the backing. I gave it a good press with a wet towel, and, it is lovely, even if, the grass is not. The wool in the kit was hand dyed in beautiful vibrant colors.

The next Ufo on my 5 quilt list to do, is a table runner. I bought the kit at a quilt show in Ohio a hundred years ago.
I bought the kit from wooly lady in 2013. Most of the applique was done when I opened the box. There is still a little floss work to be done. The colors are gorgeous, the pattern was really nice. I spent a small fortune on the kit, I don't know why I didn't finish it.
I bought another neutral piece for my boho heart quilt. I am using these colors as the background.

We have buried 5 buckets in different spots in the garden and we will see if we can get a better soil. The price of most garden supplies has jumped at least 20 percent, especially fertilizer.

read moreThere has been no real change in the stash numbers. I have been busy nesting for Spring. We are starting seeds for the garden, making some meals ahead for the busy days ahead, working outside to get the garden ready for planting. And, this year, that takes most of our energy. I haven't been in my sewing room all week. I did go to an open sew yesterday and worked on three projects - fair and square, maple leaves, and boho heart.
I have started harvesting our weeds and started the dehydrator. Dandelion flowers and violets are great for skin ...

read moreI had a Friday group sew, and, I didn't have a project ready, so, I grabbed a scrap bag and my stripology ruler, and, I started cutting. I always have questions from others about my scrappy cutting and using. It seems a mystery to them. How do I store? how do I use? how do I make all those different colors go together? etc. One of my best quilting buddies saves scraps, too, but, in squares, not strips. I would prefer strips, and, I would be happy to cut them into squares when I need them. Otherwise, I am ...
