Today didn’t go quite according to my plans. Vince wanted to go to Walmart and at first I said no but then felt bad and said I’d go. They are starting to get in their spring gardening supplies so I bought some peat cups to start seeds. I’ll go ahead and start those probably this week and then can transplant them to bigger cups (usually cans from veggies) and get a bit of a start on spring.
Log Cabin Blocks
On my 12 log cabin blocks, I had planned to make them scrappy using greens and blues but I don’t like the two I’ve made so far. I had plenty of blues that worked fine but lighter greens end up being too yellow (block on the right) and the block in the left, the light green isn’t light enough so I have gotten out almost every green in my stash and played around and I think I have a combination I like . . but the first block isn’t made yet. If I like it, I’m just going to make all 12 blocks the same and be done!
Hopefully I can get at least one block made before time to go back to the house.

Maing the log cabins with the same fabric will look great – it is still scrappy, though not as scrappy. Who will notice? Yeah – you will, but ….
I’m starting to get the seed & garden catalogs. I need to rebuild my raised garden beds. In past years, I bought some taller metal corners, some drip water tubing and such and I need to go clean up the area, get fresh wood planks, more soil and stuff and restart my garden. I miss my fresh veggies.

You can say that my day did not go according to plan either – I live in North Carolina, and the snow storm tat wasn’t turned into an ice storm that was! Enter a power outage; it has 22F, we have very limited power (thanks to a generator), but no sewing being done….

Spent some time today taking stock of all my quilty WIPs. It’s good to know where my projects stand and which ones I want to let go of completely. Thanks for the great quiltathon!

I’ve been sewing some the last few days as I recover from surgery. Feels good to sew but not getting enough done to post about. Pain is reduced to discomfort, and I find I’m not as aware of it if I’m sewing. Win-win!
