In honor of Spring’s arrival and official decision to stay for a while, a few random shots of what’s been going on around here.
May is my month for to pick fabrics and blocks for the quilting bee. I sent these out last week and already a few new blocks have been made!
A shot of my currently neglected design wall.
The pieced blocks are all from Jackie’s Block of the Month series.
The zig-zag is a patiently waiting work-in-progress.
Soccer games.
A pretty stroll at a local outdoor market.
And binding. Lots and lots of binding. Six quilts to do this weekend, in fact. (!) When they’re done, I finally get to share lots of new stuff! What I’m not showing you pictures of: my poor, neglected yard. My house is not in the finest shape either. (Some thing has got to give, right?) Oh well, after next week, I’ll get to that too.
If you’re looking for something cute and inspirational this weekend, you could visit an adorable new sponsor, Southern Fabric. Southern Fabrics is located in the heart of Georgia and has sold and shipped over 75,000 items all over the world.

That zigzag quilt on the design wall looks really nice! And they're all rectangles, that's such a great idea!

Beautiful pictures!! I especially love the zigzag quilt! I made my youngest son one for his bed using AmandaJean's tutorial as well. Gotta love no triangles 😉 Hope your day is happy! Smiles~Beth

Indeed, something's gotta give. I'm doing housework instead of quilting today. House is looking better, but I want to sew.
