Patterns, Pineapple and Primroses!

She did it again...another fun and fabulous paper piecing pattern! Who doesn't like garden gloves? So much fun and protection too!:)
Amy of "During Quiet Time" let me test another pattern...loved it...even though I did it wrong! I meant for the green dots to be the bottom of the gloves not the top!



Oh well....this is a lesson for all of you on what not to do! Want to sew a pair of your own...go visit Amy's etsy shop...and see the pattern pieced the right way!:)



Finished a few more things....



...this embroidery piece for Jo in my Hoop Up! group...she wanted whimsical and slightly creepy...I think an owl with snaps for eyes and a lion with a wind blown tummy does it for me!:) Click here to see what Jo made for Leila, our other group member, it's amazing!:)



Made a couple more minis, Nancy from work gave me the scraps for the mini on the right...scraps from my Granny Square quilt are in the zig zag...guess I should really finish the Granny!:)



Made a double decker pineapple upside down cake for the best father-in-law in the world...yummers!



Cleaned out the veggie garden...see that pile in the middle...it needs to go in the compost bins....soon!:)






(Old Gardeners never die, they just spade away! Bwhahahaa!)



I think I need a new pair of gloves before planting anything...too bad I can't make some!;)



Before I start planting I need to iron, trim and sew these 32 blocks for Nichol's quilt in the Around the Bend and Across the Pond Round Robin. Why did I pick five directional fabrics?!!!

  4. I think that Dee and Dena and I should some day get together for lunch!! I love your garden too....I'm super envious of it since we are without even grass or soil once again. Ugh the LV valley. :)
