Green Inside and Out

This has been a very green week!  Outside, I've been attempting to catch up on planting, weeding, and watering.  We have hoped and prayed for rain, but with less than 2" since January 1, it is a struggle to keep things alive.  Still, since I water regularly, I have some lovely asparagus and strawberries growing.

raspberries!
Inside, I've been stitching up green spools for my scrappy row quilt.  They're all made but not yet ironed or sewn together.  Still, since most of my "feeling good" time is spent outside, simply getting the blocks made is definitely something about which to be pleased.  Check out all the other fabulous greens that are part of the Rainbow Scrap Challenge!

Nice to see you are greening in the quilting studio and in the great outdoors. I have to get outdoors now that the rain has stopped for today anyway.

Green is growing up inside and outside at your house. Happy spring!

I'm sure it's a struggle to balance the things you want to do when it is so beautiful outside. I'm guessing gardening gives the same kind of satisfaction as quilting - do the work and reap the reward. We live in a very shaded space so no garden for us. Guess I need to sew more green then today. ;)

I've been trying to get out to the garden too in between the rains when I have time off. We have been eating our asparagus and the strawberries have blossoms.

And who doesn't love spool blocks for scraps!

Love your spool blocks. Perfect color for May.

It has been a dry spring. Hope you get some rain soon.

At least you had green to play with inside.

Envious of your gardening! I'm in too urban a location for more than a mini herb garden - thank goodness basil grows like a weed!

August Block Count

 I thought I wrote this, but it seems to be lost somewhere or I never wrote it at all… August was a quiet block month, with only 42 16-patch...
