I made some big progress on the R.E.M. piece. Three borders done and I did a bit of sashiko in one of the denim areas.
Saturday evening I trimmed the front yard, but couldn't mow until Sunday evening since it had rained a bit just as I was getting ready to trim so the grass was too wet to mow. I did see that my Icelandic poppy bloomed.
Sunday morning I went over to my brother's and worked in his backyard. 2 1/2 hours later I called it a day. I still need to go back to rake and bag up all the debris. Here are the before and after pictures
If that wasn't enough, I cut up the t-shirts and interfaced them for the Harley raffle quilt. I have two shirts that I need to add fabric too in order to make them usable. I will post how I accomplished this tomorrow. I am glad I kept all the bit left over from last year's quilt. I didn't have enough shirts that the lady sent to me this year so I just added some of the saved ones.
Wow, well done! I love the added shashiko stitching.
ReplyDeleteI love your borders on your quilt. How fun! And the tshirts are awesome. Your work on your brothers yard sure looks good, too.
ReplyDeleteI like the Icelandic Poppies. Are they an annual or perennial?
