Rob had been telling me of a covered bridge in Greenfield (after our
covered bridge adventure
last December). Friday's weather was so nice, he took me on a quick tour
along the Green River. We came across a lot of people enjoying the
sunshine and the cool water. I can certainly imagine plunking myself
down by the water for a quiet afternoon.
I'm still working on Mom's headboard. It's been really difficult figuring out how to quilt this two color mystery quilt. Even after deciding to straight line quilt it, I changed my mind about the pattern at least twice.
I got started last week. It looks alright, but not inspired. I'm hating the process though.
Save me. I haven't used a walking foot in ages, so the first two sections are all ripply. Probably need to rip those and do it again. I don't like the machine I'm quilting on (it's the only one with a walking foot). There's so many stops and starts. I can't wait to have
it done and I'm only halfway through it. Ugh.
May! Already so chock-a-block full I'm writing my Like post before
the end of the month! Time to share with LeeAnna and friends at I Like Thursday.
Ahhh... first kayak outing of the year. A beautiful evening, and early enough in the season the pond wasn't choked with weeds. I love being able to explore the nooks and crannies along the edge of the pond (and check out the beaver lodges).
I'm close to wrapping up a couple of projects.
Getting this jacket finished has been rough. I wanted to put pockets on the front of it, but I decided it was too short - the pockets would be just too high to use. So I've sewed up the sides and have most of it bound. I need to pick a binding for the sleeves since I ran out of the purple I used for the rest (oops). I plan to add toggle buttons, hoping to find some at Swanson's. Then that will be done.
