I’m sure this doesn’t look like I’ve gotten anything done this past week and there is some truth to that. However, I did get the alternate blocks sorted out and they are sitting by my sewing table ready for me to stitch together.
Each block was taken off the wall and laid out the way it is supposed to go together with sheet of paper between them. I hope this allows me to get the blocks back up on the wall in a short order. Of course it might be quicker if I actually sat at my sewing machine and sewed!
I’ve decided to attempt to do a bit of gardening this year to see if I can grow a few vegetables. This past week I spent much of my ‘quilting time’ reading up on container gardening and deciding what I wanted to attempt to grow. Saturday I worked for a couple of hours in the morning, then started gathering my supplies.
I’ve started working on my first container. This one will get one of the tomato plants. It’s beginning to look like many of our home improvement projects — with multiple trips to the hardware store. I hope it’s just one more stop before I can actually start to plant. So far there have been three — if I you don’t count the ones where I was looking before I started to implement the project.
With any luck, I’ll be back to the sewing machine before the end of the week. May 16th will be here before I know it.
