Seeing Red

 in little bits anyway!

Tiny red petunias in the bright morning sun - 
they have lots of growing to do!

It seems that the less time I have to sew, the more I just want to play with a little something and can't stay focused on any one project!  And with only 15 or 20 minutes to sew most days, that's how this week went.

Arrow blocks - 3/4 of the way there.

Three exclamation mark blocks for Full Stop.




And finally I pulled out some red crumb blocks and made crumb hearts with bonus HSTs to go along with them.  These are fun and happy!


The Rainbow Strings are making a lovely ironing board cover at the moment, so no further progress on the basting step.  But there's still time!  😁

  9. Lots of red to see this morning! I do believe you are making this 15 minutes a day working! I was putting the borders on my FYOP yesterday and thought I heard a noise outside me window! When I looked up, the top shelf in one of my shelf units had dumped all the scrap baskets on the floor! Oops!

  16. Your crumb hearts are adorable! We got our flowers planted too, and like yours, they look dwarfed by the big pots. Here’s to lots of good growing weather!
