Tuesday To-Do #16: Last Week Freezing, This Week Hot

These Tuesdays sneak up on me sometimes

so this is a quick, barely-edited post this morn.

Sunny and mild!  Cold and freezing!  Sunny and hot!

Now we're in the 80's and the windows are

staying open at night.  Crazy times, crazy times.

The good news is that I have seen very little damage

from the freeze so I'm hopeful our fruit trees will

still produce this year.  Only time will tell.

Speaking of time, let's kick off the list of to-do's

with my hourglass quilt:

Nine-Patch Hourglass

Start quilting; think of a name.

Barely done.

I only have a small start (pic not current) but I 

did get it named.   I think it looks like "attic" colors...

whatever those are.  Antique-like, I guess.  

So, "Time In the Attic" works for me.

Naming isn't rocket science!

Lattice Quilt

Get all blocks made.

Some done. 

 

  I am making progress at least.  A little pinning is

helping out with the tug of war.  Yes, I am pinning.

HSTs

Still want to try some outdoor sewing with these. 

Not done. 

Sunday would have worked for my outdoor sewing

 but I don't do much, if any, sewing on the weekends.

A non-windy nice day is rare here in KS but it

does happen so I'll keep waiting.

 

Gardening

Put in peppers, tomatoes and eggplant.  And all herbs.  

Done. 

I also caved and, after seeing some of my recipes,

I picked up more cabbage (Nappa/Chinese) to grow.

What's a few more?  Still haven't caught that moth

but there has only been one sighting.

Anyhoo, so the garden is all planted--yay!--until late

June/early July when the pumpkins gourds go in.

 

In other news...

It's been a long time since I added to my pantograph

collection so I decided to treat myself.  I'll update

my tab with the names of these later today.

Not much else to tell so I'll move on into

next week's plans.

Nine-Patch Hourglass

Finish

Lattice Quilt

Finish blocks? Hard to say.

Just depends on how much outdoor work

I decide to do.

HSTs

Outdoor sewing if weather cooperates.

Gardening

Finish straightening fences.  Start on mulch process.

Hubs and I have been straightening up the 2-ft fence

around each bed (to keep out bunnies and chickens)

and replacing most of the plastic stakes with more

permanent metal ones.  Also, now that everything is

planted, I'm going to start putting organic weed barriers

(newspaper, cardboard, etc) down and topping them

with mulch.  I don't mind a little weeding here and

there but a big garden like mine is just too much.

This is an investment of time and work that

really pays off the rest of the season.

Have a great week and happy quilting!
