and then, all in a rush...

most of my RSC17ing was done last week, with a bit of finishing up some blocks late this week...

with so much other sewing and garden chores this week, it's just as well that I don't have too much black/multi colors. haha!

 

hopefully next week I can get some of those garment pictures posted- I forgot to take pictures before the girls changed after church last week!

 

I'm looking forward to a new color for the month of May- although those scrap jars never seem to get any emptier! go see what everyone else is working on- it's always a colorful looky-loo!

spring has (finally!) sprung!

I've had just enough time in the sewing room this week...

the spring farm work has hit in earnest, and although we're farming and growing a bit differently this year (scaling down a bit) there is still a lot to be done. all spring it's: " nope, too wet to till. nope, too wet to seed. nope, frost coming- too cold to plant." then: BOOM! it's ready, and all needs to be done at once!

I had way more black/multi blocks and fabric than I thought. (isn't that always the case, though?)

I still have a few 16 patches to sew up in my "spare time", but I've been really busy sewing garments for my 2 youngest daughters.

A and B each chose a piece of yardage for a new Easter dress. B is wearing the blue, A the red. next week I should have a couple more dresses and such to share...

snibbles and crumbs....

don't ask me, but my brain read the "multi color" as "BLACK multi colored"...

 

yeah, I know... sigh....

so I've been working (slowly) at my black/multi crumb blocks. not much RSC sewing to show for this week, but I did do a bunch of other sewing: mainly Easter dresses for my two youngest daughters, A and B. (red and blue) also a summer pinafore for my granddaughter. (vintage royal blue)

spring finally seems like she might be here to stay, so some outside work and planting will be taking up some more of my spare time. but as long as I get a bit of sewing room time, I'm still fit to be around! (I tell my family that my time mindlessly sewing is what makes me a nice person to be around. ha!)
