Multi tasking

 Sometimes I have a day where I got a lot of work done, but didn't finish anything! Yesterday was that day. I loaded a pretty red and white quilt and began quilting a particularly complicated pattern first thing when I got to the studio. It still had one row to go when 6pm rolled around. I should have it off the machine and trimmed this morning.

It was already pushing 6:30 when I finally gave up on finishing this quilt.

While I was quilting, I also began sewing down the applique bits on the triangle blocks.

The bunny block is done, and will get a bead eye later, as well as some embroidery on the flowers.

The pear tree is done.
The greens are all done for the first two rows, too.

I have a tee shirt quilt to do, as well, and some of the tee shirts were already sewn together by the customer. I took them apart, added interfacing to the backs, and prepped the remaining shirts. Unfortunately, the customer had already cut most of them, so I will be limited in the size of the finished blocks. I'll come up with something!

All prepped and ready to go.

Both of us quilted, too! Here is Mr Wazoo's work.

This is a cute and cuddly kid quilt!

What makes it cuddly is the pinkie backing.

I thought I'd leave you with what's going on outside. Spring came in quickly once the weather warmed up, and everything is finally green and lush. Mr W's work pays off in the beauty we get to enjoy every day.

Mr W laid this slate path himself, for easier access to the side garden.

This is the back garden from the other end of the house. I don't take enough photos from here.

The iris are blooming giant sized this year!

My vantage point for the yard is through the two windows on the right. The studio has a perfect vies of the front yard.

The first peony is as big as a salad plate! And smells heavenly. Just a blush of pink on the outer petals.

There are birds in the red house. No neighbors, though.

Look hard and you'll see the nest on top of the yard light. Mr and Mrs bird watch us as much as we watch them!
