Rain rain go away......

May 7, 2017
Careful what you wish for. It has been raining for most of three or four days now. Creek levels in our backyard are back up to near the same as in the Spring. BUT this morning we woke up to this!!!
Snow in May. Not so unusual for this area  but a surprise just the same. Guess gardening will have to wait a few more weeks. But that only means that I get to stay indoors and get more sewing projects done.
The "quilt" is almost finished. I am working on hemming the last edge. Notice I didn't say binding! There was no binding this quilt as the top had finished edges. You can see here what I am talking about.
When this is done and delivered to the owner, I will be in my sewing room trying to figure out what to do next. I will have that dreaded disease...finishitis or what to do nextitis!!!When you have finished a quilt that has consumed alot of time and all the quilts and projects that were left on the back burner simmering, can now come out to play! Maybe I should start a list?
It was nice the other day to get to play with fabric. Well in a way. I had to clean off my table and in order to do that there was fabric that needed cutting into usable sizes and put away and hexies to be cut to put in my kit for travelling.While cleaning I found a couple more projects that need finishing..oh my!!

So with the weather outside..I will be in my sewing room getting things done. Later today I will be joining my friend Kathy for some slow stitching. No day is complete without some relaxing slow stitching. Enjoy your day and whatever you chose to do and have a great week!

  1. The Spring weather has been absolutely crazy, but the good side is it has given us all a little extra sewing time!

  4. We don't get snow in May, but it has been much cooler than usual here with clouds and rain also. Enjoy your stitching.

  5. Good for you to get to feel finishitis! I don't know where you live, but we have been having the same weather here in Ontario, Canada. So much rain my poor little hyacinths got beaten down. We had a very light squall of snow this morning that evaporated quickly thank goodness, but right back to rain!! Anyway, happy stitching on whatever comes up next!

You just never know!

 The other day a friend texted me and asked if I recognized the photo she sent me. It was a photo of a quilt, one that I had made last year ...
