March 2026

What happened to March? Anybody know?

I didn’t go into the sewing studio until the last two days of the month.

The Hubster and I spent quite a bit of time outdoors. We cleared and burned a whole lot of brush. We do expect a ban on the use of chain saws and a ban on burning to come early this year. Like many parts of the country, we have had drought followed by a very mild winter. Not good.

We became great-grandparents on March 11 to a baby boy!

The little fam lives in Oregon, and we hope to visit soon. Wren Thomas was admitted to the hospital yesterday, giving us all a scare. He is very jaundiced, but after many tests, the little fella was declared healthy and discharged today (the 31st).

Our son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter visited for a few days. They came to celebrate the life of our daughter-in-law’s Mom, who had passed recently. Their stay here was too short, as always.

The Hubster got sick, so outdoor chores are on hold. Unfortunately, they will wait for him.

I finally have all of the parts sewn for Silk Path! Now all I need to do is get it laid out and sewn into a flimsy. This will be interesting, since I have no space to lay out such a large project.

I love it when the sunshine warms up the crocus and the petals open to reveal the bumble bees!

So sweet!

One of These Does Not Belong

I am pretty sure that you can tell which of the piecing does not belong.

I had a whole lotta cutting left to do for the Bonnie Hunter Silk Path project.

And as long as I was cutting anyway, I might as well make more of those 1990’s charms into half-square triangles. There are only 20 blocks so they will be a small project.

All of that cutting for Silk Path gave me plenty more piecing to do.

One of these days, I will have a flimsy.

A big one.

In the meantime, this project is moving forward.

Have fun and carry on!

Silk Path

I decided to move the Silk Path project forward, as long as I am in the mood to move things along, even if it is only a small movement.

I searched my own blog, and found that Bonnie Hunter’s Silk Path pattern was my choice for Karen Brown’s Declutter Challenge January 2025.

So, in fine tradition, I started it a year ago, and I am moving it forward a year later.

I left off with these two bags of strip piecing; very happy to be using up scrap stash.

Now I have 61 scrappy blocks.

True to Bonnie Hunter style, there is a lot more piecing to do.

I like what I see.

Have fun and carry on!
