The wind is howling and it alternates between cold (last night was 22F) and sunshine (now is 51F). I'm SO ready for spring--I fondle my packets of flower seed and plan when to start them indoors. I must remember not to plant them too early--last year the plants got too big and spindly before they were planted. There are a few slow germination perennials I want to get a head start with.
Have a great week!!

Bibs look spiffy. Maybe I should make one for myself, when we eat runny burgers.
I am really wanting spring to arrive too - so tired of cold and wind and snow. But I gave up gardening some years ago. I really didn't enjoy it, and that resulted in a "brown thumb". But I do enjoy everyone else's flowers and plants.
Looking forward to seeing the Little Boxes quilt develop. I like your blue fabrics all lined up waiting. . .
There is something therapeutic about mindless chain-stitching, isn't there? The applique block is beautiful.
The wind has been howling here, too. Yesterday gusts up to 77 mph were recorded. Sigh, spring is taking it's time coming this year.
OK, deleted my earlier post since my fingers & my brain can't agree. I need a bib like those you made....only much bigger. :) Your new pattern looks great. Modern looking yet would look good as a scrappy quilt. As for all those appliqued grapes....more power to you. I like LOOKING at applique but don't want to actually DO it.
Wow, your grapes look gorgeous! And the blue boxes are going to be lovely too. I have to have a variety of different projects to suit my mood. Yes, chain piecing is wonderful "mindless" work. I'm getting something done, but my mind can wander all over the place. Same for hand sewing the bindings.
yea for mindless sewing and getting lots done that way! As for Spring....you won't believe what is happening outside my window now; the lawn guys are outside doing the first mowing of the year!
not that there's that much grass growing yet, so it's probably just cutting down the last of the Fall grass rather than actually mowing the Spring grass, LOL but grass is grass, and it's apparently there to be mown.
i think the Little Boxes will be a charming quilt. How original to work the sashings that way in the pattern--never seen that done before.
And don't think that just because I live down South that i'm all done with snow. What did we get on the Second day of Spring? yep, you guessed it--an afternoon of snow flurries and a cold night. it didn't stick to the ground here, but 20 miles west of us it did! Our daytime temps are running about 20 degrees colder than normal here, so this is going to be a late Spring for many of us.
