Stitching in the Garden

A whole lot of gardening going on and not much on the sewing front. We've had a pretty incredible warm sunny week, it seemed as if spring was never going to come and here it is!. I'm about three quarters finished cleaning up the garden and about 90% done with planting perennials and a few annuals in pots around the deck. It sure feels good to have most of the garden ready. I stitched this cute little babushka doll pincushion in between getting dirty.EDIT: the free pattern for the babushka doll can be found here, she's about 4" tall.

Isn't this the best bag, I've been using it everyday since it arrived at my house last week. Mary surprised me by sending this wonderful bag to me. Thank a bunch Mary, you are so very sweet to think of me.....I love it!

And look she even included a matching pincushion, how fun is that.
If you don't hear from me I'm still lurking around, just spending a bit more time in the garden. That's if the rain holds off a little longer, if not I'll be back in the house cutting and sewing again.

Happy Quilting.
