picking up all the sticks and tree debris that the late winter storms have left in our yard. We have trees debris everywhere.....
The yard is a bit soggy at the moment from the melting snow so I think it would be better if it dried up just a bit before tending to it. Don't want to trudge all that mud in the house since I spent most of yesterday tidying up. Makes sense, don't ya think?
One spot in the house that still is in need of a lot of tidying up is my "happy place" or as the hubby refers to it...the "she cave". It really needs a lot of attention. One thing in particular that is really out of control are my scrap bins.....
I can't think of a better way to tackle this problem than to make a quilt. And one of my favorite quilts to make is a comfort quilt. It comes in all shapes and sizes and there generally are no to few rules to follow. Nothing but pure enjoyment of playing with fabric and feeding piece upon piece through my sewing machine. I was so thrilled to come across Sarah's post about the
Hands2Help 2018 charity quilt challenge. Not only do I get to make one of my favorite kinds of quilts, but it will have a home to go to! I decided to use a pattern from
Bricks Cobblestones and Pebbles by the ever so talented Gyleen X. Fitzgerald. Just the ticket for making a dent (barely a dent) in to my scrap basket. Love my pebbles......
They really are quick to make and kind of like potato chips (or in my case M & M's)...can't just stop at one.....
I think I will will let them play together on my design wall for just a bit.....
Hope you are all enjoying Spring in your neck of the woods. I think it has finally made it here in New England
