Working On It!

This time of year I spend a lot of time in the garden. On garden breaks I do some sewing and on sewing breaks I do some gardening. 
Some days on garden breaks I'll cut a bunch of pieces for a bunch of different blocks. Then the next day I might chain piece all of those blocks. I end up with a giant pile behind the sewing machine. Then the next day I sew all of the rows of the chain pieced blocks together. 

Then I end up with a big pile of ironing so that is what I will do on garden breaks tomorrow...iron. 
Then I will end up with several days of blog posts! I think there are about five different projects in there. 

And so it goes...

Well, that’s how you are so productive! I see some more of those Candra green scraps in the sewing pipeline. And star blocks..... oh I love stars of any kind. Looking forward to future blog posts.

Oh wow! Some days our lives are so parallel. (And I said it that way because I know you love math too.) ;) My husband plowed the garden for me last weekend. I have some little starts in the kitchen. I will garden and sew and help with remote learning and then bike ride and magnet fish. Then the cycle begins again. I love it when my blocks pile up behind my machine like that. For me it's usually just one project at a time.

I look forward to your piles behind the machine. I "buy" machine time with chores.

I'm looking forward to seeing what quilts are in the piles behind your machine, happy stitching, happy gardening!

Hey we have twin sewing machines! How cool is that?!?
I love my Brother sewing machine... it's 25+ years old now and still working perfectly!

I have copied my spring style of working from you - garden, quilt, garden, quilt - and you often cross my mind as I move from garden to house.
