    Theres a reason I only finished 2 quilts today

    Yes, there's a reason why I only finished two quilts today. DH kept bringing me truckloads of mulch for the flower beds. He brought 4 big dump bed loads and put one in the middle of the yard that needed to be shoveled to the beds. Then, I suggested maybe he could dump the loads directly into the beds and I could spread it easier with a rake. If he hadn't done that, I wouldn't have gotten as much as I did done.
    On a good note, my back is only aching a little and I did get to the sewing room for 4 hours this afternoon and finished the quilt that I had to replace the backing on. Boy is it heavy. The pretty little blue/red and white one was donated and right this minute I don't remember by whom but I hope they will claim it because it is a charmer.mulch.jpgmulch2.jpg2 more.jpg

    The blue one is darling, but boy I do love the orphan block sampler quilt. It looks great and also represents so many loving hearts.

              Oh my - you really are a busy lady. I hope you're going to post pics of the garden in bloom.

              I think I see a bunch of my orphan blocks on the sampler quilt. Many are from the Winter Solstice Block of the Month I was doing with Pat Sloan.....obviously I didn't finish the quilt......so glad they found a home with you Terry and you were able to put them in that awesome quilt. Kinda makes me wish I had stuck with it - LOL

                  Wow lucky you to be outside working in the yard. Seems like yesterday it was so cold you couldn't sew. Love the orphan block quilt. You sure have a good eye for putting it all together. And I did get a little excited when I seen the Summer plaid quilt...my donation. You sure an eager beaver. Do you want me to send you more tops and backing?
