First, you still have time to link to Hexie Weekend (ends Tuesday, Midnight) and get in on the giveaways. Just go to the previous post.
Another first is I finally have some numbers over a part of a yard to add to my stash report. There was 2.13 yards for one backing and another 1.13 for a VA quilt backing. Figured I can't FMQ if I don't have a top ready, so yesterday I started to sandwich two UFOs to get them under the needle. See my totals on right sidebar.
Then here is a photo of our first tomato for the year:
My DH is not happy with the state of the plant - says it's not as hardy as the one before, but we do have a bumper crop coming along.
Then there is the first yellow cactus flowers:
They're even more beautiful in actual life as I noticed them at high noon which is not a good time to take photos and the pot is too heavy to move.
Lastly, on my design wall is my Soupçon where I have added the first border and starting to add the second one of part 6 of this wonderful project by Karen.
What's on your design wall? I'm linking to Judy's Design Wall Monday, Lyn's BOMs Away, Anything Goes Monday, and Something Old, Something New

ReplyDeleteOhhhhhhhh...yummy tomato. I finally finished a block (not a hexie) and linked it.
ReplyDeleteGreat, Billie - off to see what you did.
Deletewow that soupcon quilt is really spectacular. You have a RED tomato? Oh my, we just got ours in the garden last weekend. We don't even have 5 leaves on each plant much less a flower or a tomato, no green, no red. So jealous!
ReplyDeleteLOL - don't be jealous. Once the heat hits hear it will like the desert and there will be no crops to speak of. I hope to get to the paper piecing part of Soupçon part 6 tomorrow. Thanks for stopping by, Sue.
