June 1st Quilt Block Exchange

[kimmie6067]

Well I don't know how much quilting I'll be doing now, just got back from TSC with 6 baby bantams!!!! I've got 2 that are very lethargic going to have to keep an ete on them. Atleast they'll be in my craft room so maybe I'll get something done. I've got 4 baby blankets to make, 2 within 2 weejs, the otger 2 by June. By the way we're expecting snow also Mon. Night into Tues., so much for planting potatoes Good Friday.

Are you kidding we still have snow on the ground and ice underneath! I want my plants to start coming up right NOW!!

hope your 2 turn out ok, oh weather man was calling for snow here, but now it is just rain and turning cold, I love the snow but only if I go to it I really don't like it coming to me.

Please ignore all my typos, fingers are bigger than buttons on ipod . I am so ready to be in the garden.

I am watching eggs hatch (don't get much of anything done staring at a 'bator) and waiting for the next batch to start hatching Monday or Tuesday. We just bought a new car - that took a while. I think I may need counseling after dealing with so many car salesmen. We eventually got what we wanted, at the right price, but it took a long time (and 5 dealerships) to do it. And now, buried in snow yet again, I need to finish up my maple syrup and dream of my garden. Last week I thought I might get to plant peas this week, but now there is a heavy layer of snow on the ground. My pepper plants (starting indoors) came up, though!

This week I have two sets of socks to work on for a friend, those shouldn't take long if I actually sit down to do them. I also have two quilting BOMs to work on before the new ones come! And I have this strange desire to de-clutter my house & start spring cleaning... THAT seriously doesn't happen around here much AT ALL!

Along the way I may come across the green fabrics I'd like to use for the swap blocks. I'll pull those and may start cutting squares.

I checked to see if I have any greens that I like and not a one!!! I can't believe it.

That's just a subconscious drive to buy more fabric!

You hit the nail on the head with that one.

I'd like to join in on this swap if there's still an open space. I've just recently joined BYC and stumbled across the 'hobbies' section today in the forums.
