Sewkrzy Quilts (and now I Knit, too!)

I am loving this weather... I went out this morning and had my tea on my glider as I looked around to see all the new life coming alive again in God's wonderful creation!! My tulips and grape hyacinths are blooming... The trees in the neighbors yard have their new leaves... the blooms on the lilacs are getting ready to open... neighbors are mowing their green grass... it is a great sight to see.

On my agenda today is taking Pop to the doctors, then hanging out until it's time to go to the funeral home this afternoon... [my best Bud's Mom passed away]. Then, home to go to another funeral home for one of our parishioners.

Later, I'll be getting comfortable [out of my dress clothes] and hopefully getting outside to enjoy some of this beautiful day. Maybe later, getting into the sewing room... and at some point, I need to do a little online shopping for border & backing fabric for the quilt I am currently working on and some border & backing fabric for the quilt I will be working on next. I want to make a lap quilt to auction off at our upcoming family reunion in July.

So, everyone... have a great day!! The Lord has made a good day today... let's not waste it!

Happy Stitching!!

Time sure is flying, though, I am feeling lost. Because I am not really getting things accomplished as I would like. Now that the weather is getting warm & dry (FINALLY), I'll be turning my attention outside, which will only get me further behind in my quilting room. At least I'll be able to take my knitting and hand-quilting projects outside while relaxing on the porch swing.

I continue to work on the fabric postcards that I exchange with my online group, PCMA,  (PostCard Mail Art)... I put 4 of them in the mail yesterday. One was going to Germany, another to Australia, and 2 in the USA. Wow... my creations are getting around (traveling), even if I am not! LOL

New project in knitting... I am doing a Lace Shawl in my knitting class. I am amazed at what I have learned in the past 6 to 8 months! And, I like knitting because it is much easier to haul around to doctors appts, or while riding in the car. I used to take my quilting handwork... I have been working on a Cathedral Windows quilt since 1994. I be MORE than happy when that is done. And, I can tell you... I won't be doing another one!! At least not in the near future. Though, at the rate I am going, I'll be very old by the time I finish this one!! LOL

Better go for now. Dennis is gone for the day and I want to sew!!!

Happy Stitching!
