I usually embroider in the summer when it's too hot to hand quilt...usually just dish towels for Christmas gifts but I have a lot of vintage transfers I want to put on pillowcases and crochet edgings. I have a couple of crazy quilt ufos I want to get back to now that I'm retired. <br /><br />Have fun!

Not surprised you didn't have much time to sew RSC green blocks. However the ones you made are great and will eventually find their way into a quilt. Good work on the garden front. I've been tackling weeds too. Very hard work, I'd rather be sewing!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05139897702169696195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-412097977899482006.post-88948325054530992752017-05-28T16:26:27.561-07:002017-05-28T16:26:27.561-07:00PS I didn't forget about James and the quilt -...PS I didn't forget about James and the quilt - figuring how to juggle a few things.

I much prefer it to back stitch unless I'm doing letters or tight curves. Your work looks wonderful! Buttercups are weeds? Too bad we aren't next door neighbors as I'd love them! But I love dandelions, too, so you might be happy we aren't next door neighbors. LOL I hope the smoke dies down and allows you out to finish your pretty gardening. At my house, things have to survive on their own, because if they die, I don't replant that thing.

But the red Knockout shrub roses are by far the best, blooming alll summer, need no pruning. Even here in WI they really thrive also, and this is not rose country. Good luck with your projects.PaulaB quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03850498636712774853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-412097977899482006.post-16477943865070870262017-05-27T14:12:37.416-07:002017-05-27T14:12:37.416-07:00now I want to do embroiderynow I want to do embroideryLA Paylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06553491768819243802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-412097977899482006.post-7903239157461309352017-05-27T13:30:35.956-07:002017-05-27T13:30:35.956-07:00May truly is a green month whether in the sewing r...May truly is a green month whether in the sewing room or in the garden.

Day lilies, they thrive down here, and multiply overnight. A friend came and dug up a whole ute tray load, and we couldn't even notice any gaps, probably at least 30 or so have gone to a new home, along with a lot of other plants that were in multiples as well. The little roses will grow, and I hope the vapours and smoke get washed away with rain.Nancy Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11854698513524662527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-412097977899482006.post-25772260230861914862017-05-27T10:40:27.725-07:002017-05-27T10:40:27.725-07:00You might not have had a lot of green blocks, but ...You might not have had a lot of green blocks, but you surely made it a green post!
