Spring has flown past, and it is hard to believe that this is June 1st! The nicer weather, yard work and gardens compete for time.
The Flowers. . .
Is it Sunday already?!? Last Monday was a holiday in the US, and in my mind the days have been off all week. On top of that – Tomorrow is the first day of June! Where has Spring gone?
The gas company has been updating their pipeline and the final stage is repaving the street since it has been mostly dug up during their work. So this week, without any notice, our neighborhood roads have been torn up and Friday they began spreading the new asphalt.
My car could not be parked in front of the house on Friday and there was limited space on other neighborhood roads to park. So I was forced into making a day of shopping!
So, here is my weekly Summary:
This week has been busy. My regularly scheduled activities were interrupted on Tuesday when I got to babysit a 20-month old neighbor because he woke with a fever and couldn’t go to daycare. It turned out to be nothing, but you know, a little one that isn’t feeling well needs a lot of cuddling & spoiling, something I was happy to do!
Some of my time this week has been spent planning. I pulled out my Excel spreadsheet and worked on calculations, and then got on the Internet looking for fabric. It saves on gas, but isn’t the same as shopping in person.
I know I have lots of WIPs (WIP – Works in Progress) and many UFOs (Unfinished Objects), but I keep seeing other patterns that I may one day want to make. The Internet is full of talented designers and many are gracious to share tutorials and/or patterns.
Finished Size: 38” x 47”. Because of the size you won’t need to piece the back! If you do not like matching points, this quilt is for you. Using rectangles and staggering the blocks, you won’t have to match seams. Check out her blog tutorial for tips in creating this quick quilt.
Welcome to Tuesday’s Tips. Today I would like to share with you some helpful information that I’ve discovered on other blogs this past week.
I really think I might try cutting some bias strips after reading this post! It really helps seeing it done in the video.
