It's a flimsy!
Rail Fence
40 x 56
Pink was the Rainbow Scrap Challenge (RSC) color of the month for April. I noticed I had accumulated a lot of pink 1.5 inch strips - most were given to me. I decided to make rail fence blocks combining pink with other colors of strips in the 1.5 inch width scrap box.
I didn't have to cut any strips. And I cleared quite a bit out of the 1.5 inch scrap box. Maybe I will have it emptied by year end.
I tried to arrange blocks on the diagonal by color.
I had this top finished before hubby unexpectedly went into the hospital on the 20th for a week. Now I notice it is time to move on to orange scraps - that is the RSC color for May.
And sew on...

While I was an hour away from home with hubby in the hospital I called my son to ask him to help me harden off the tomato plants I had started from seed. I was in the process and asked him to set the tomatoes out on the deck out of wind and direct sun for two hours each day and to make sure they were watered but not overwatered.
Well, this is what I found when I came home. I guess my son does not have a very green thumb. So I guess this year for the first time in 25 or so years I will buy my tomato plants. And so it goes...
But I walked out to the gardens yesterday and did find some jewels.
Iris
Shooting Star
Camassia
Tree peony
Trillium
Another Tree Peony
I have had this Magnolia tree for over 20 years. I have never seen it bloom until this year. Oh joy!
Black tulips in the new Perky Goth/Moonlight garden in memory of my granddaughter, Kayla. Looks like some critter ran through the patch.
Tulip
Lilies of the Valley. Every time I walk by them I am reminded of my Father-in-law. He told me that was his favorite flower.
Bleeding Heart. For years I have been meaning to take cuttings of this. Maybe this will be the year.
And sow on...
