Diamond borders.

The zig zag red and white diamond borders is almost pieced together in a continuous piece. Will applique it on to the background when it is one piece.

Some pictures of the garden and the veggie patch.

Everything is growing and flowering. 

Spinach, peas and cucumbers. 

Lavender blooming. The bees and butterflies are enjoying the flowering plants.

Blues Brown's and darker colours for July is the next RSC21 colour. Cut the triangles for the churn dash blocks blocks.

Red slow stitching and applique.

The red and white quilt is my main project for now.

Doing little bit at a time. 

The vase was sewn in the wrong spot, so it was removed and is now in he correct spot.

The hearts is now done. Will be doing some more work on this as we are expecting some more rain this weekend. 

Purple nine patch blocks.

The purple RSC21  blocks are done.

Sixty five blocks are done, will need a total of a hundred and ten. Amazing progress on Omygosh. 

Since my sewing machine needs some more repairs, handwork will be the order of the day.  Next charm row ready to be sewn together. 

Napfest!

The RSC21 for the month of June is purple. Just one issue with this colour, it is something which I have the bare minimum of,  in terms of fabric. Used most of what was in my fabric stash to make teachers aprons a few months back.

When it is so thin on the ground.

This is the total sum of it. 

Prepped these pieces, the rest of the time has been spent dealing with the side effects of the vaccine, all part of the process.

Rest and relaxation today.

Purple is the next colour for the month of June. This week we all had our first vaccines and I was the last one to get mine. Needless to say my arm is sore, expected that. What I did not expect was to want to sleep so much. Not a bad thing as a side effect.

Finished this week's charm row, so today will be a relaxing and rest day. Next week will be a gardening week. The house has all the springcleaning done, have a few shelves to still wipe down in the cupboards which is minor to do. Once my arm is back to normal will do those as well. The guys went to get the traditional South African sausages for the summer barbeque season at a butcher's in Oakville. So now they are all set for summer!

Red applique and nine patch blocks.

Red and white quilt is growing. All applique and embroidery for the center.
