WIPs Be Gone Saturday Week 15

Somewhere in all the happenings, I ran out of time on Thursday for posting. So WIPs Be Gone for this week is on Saturday. And as far as WIPs goe, not even got off the starting line this time. But that's how life goes.  I did finish a charity quilt and two other charity tops. Can't show you the tops, but here's the finished one:

 Here it is after I finished quilting it.  Again I used my walking foot for most of the quilting except for a little bear in the center.

And here it is with the binding and washed and ready to given to the neonatal unit.  The block is a traditional block called domino.   I'll post the free pattern on the third Tuesday of the month.

How are you doing on your wips?Would love to see - doesn't have to be a finish, but we'll admire those, too.  Linky below - remember it doesn't have to be a new post, just one that shows a WIP.  Ends Monday, midnight.  I'm linking to Sarah's Can I get a Whoop, Whoop? and Kelly's Needle and Thread Thursdays, Crazy Mom Quilts, and Richard's Link a finish Friday. Lots of eye candy there.  Bye for now.

Applique Tuesday

Time to get back to my hobby.  This past week I learned I can be less on the computer. Thank you to all who commented on my previous posts and shared Holy Week with me.  I did do some work as I contemplated the events so long ago and still pertinent today.

I finished my block # 3 (to me) of the Benjamin Biggs Wedding Quilt.

I used one of the other blocks for the bud placement and that's what you see underneath.  This was a rather chunky block and I decided to lace it a bit more and made the center larger. I think I'll use it as my signature block.  I also decided to set it on point. Otherwise the corners came too close to the buds for me.

In the garden, some color is showing. Here are some volunteer Evening Primrose:

Also my Cecil Brunner climber is blooming way. They are such a delicate pink:

And ripe now are our Chandler pummelos - Yummy.

Here is one in comparison to a navel orange and a lemon.  Big, huh?

The pummelo is a forerunner of the grapefruit. But it is sweet and juicy, not tart at all.  It has a thick skin:

The fruit is so tasty that it's well worth the time to get at this luscious pink inside.  The Chinese eat these at New Year for good luck.
