D.O.N.E.




And just in time, as I'm itching to start on a new quilt, or two, or three.... A few posts back, I wrote about how I only had a few little loose bits and pieces to fix after washing my last quilt...this time around - success! Generous quarter inch seam allowances and actually giving up on using miniscule bits of fabric paid off! There are a few times I stitched through the whole quilt when finishing off the binding, most likely due to sewing while too tired or while herding a toddler, and a few pinkish spots where the batik scraps I used turned out not to be pre-washed and bled into the res of the block they were in, but all in all, it held up perfectly through a thorough wash and dry cycle. Hooray!

Out in the garden we've hit a 2 kid stride of getting one bed turned over and planted each night while the other person wrangles the girls. Monday: beets, 1/2 bulls blood and 1/2 touchstone gold. Tuesday: Snow peas, dwarf gray sugar. Wednesday: Scallions, white and red sets. If it doesn't rain tonight, the next bed is Shell peas, Caseolode. And watering....I haven't watered anything in, since rain has been forecast all week. Still to go into that side of the garden, radishes, carrots, and mesclun: mixed leaf lettuce, arugula, dino kale, and mizuna.
