Today the mattresses arrived! And the weather cooperated with sunshine. These news beds are so high, yet there is less room under the bed. Interesting.
And here is the mattress for the guest room. I guest it is time to unpack the furniture to make it a welcome room.
This box holds a few more bags of pieces, but since the quilts are not yet quilted, I’m not ready to cut the remainder into squares and applique pieces. If feels like much was accomplished and the floor is still clean. I can either start new quilts, or tackle all those squares and make more quilts with them. Such a decision!
I’m praying that each of you who celebrate Easter have a safe and enjoyable family time, remembering the reason for the occasion.

Do you remember these sweet potatoes that I put in water. Today I was able to take the starts off them and put them in the water. There are probably 12-15 starts in this jar
I found this trying to hide under some other items, so decided to finish it to the flimsy stage. Even the borders were in the scrap pile since I had cut them for another quilt and changed my mind. I think sometimes ufos get to be ufos when they are forgotten simply because something gets laid of top of them and they aren’t seen – like this one.
Yesterday morning, I thought spring might be on the way. Today, it definitely is not.
Here are 3 sheep photos. This last one you can see one of the dogs with the big fluffy tail. It appeared they rounded the sheep up and were counting them. Of course, we don’t really know what was happening, except they touched noses, then the sheep wandered off to eat.
This has been a big project. (I did hire help). The boxes were moved a bit this winter and another trellis was built. Then we had lost so much soil because over time as one pulls weeds or food out, a bit of soil comes out. So we used 6 bales of peat moss, 18 bags of sand and 3.5 bales of perlite to fill all the boxes again. This time the dirt is only on the bottom, so hopefully we won’t have the weed problem and the food will come out cleaner. It’s the Mittleider method if you are interested. So tomorrow, I absolutely MUST start the veggies seeds so they can be transplanted and I also need to get this fertilized and thoroughly watered this week. I’m a bit late, but the forecast is for freezing nights every night this week and rain through Wednesday. Then if the forecast is correct we’ll get 3 days of sun or partial sun, then more rain.
The red and yellow are from my library of fabrics. All the churn dash blocks are from some squares gifted me. I was so happy to put them to good use. And I am delighted this is now a completed flimsy. I used the GO Churn Dash die to cut them. That was really fast. Now if I hadn’t had such a cough when I put them together, they would have taken half the time since I would have connected the right pieces together the first time. But life has its up and downs. Now I’m all better, and I probably should make another.
