April showers

All day it's been cool and rainy. Good for the complexion, good for the greenery, good for the moss and the mildew and the ducks. I'm so glad it's not snowing!! Bless the poor folks in the midwest!

On with more quilt piecing. I don't actually sew one square at a time. I practice chain piecing.
You don't lift the presser foot, but just slip the next square right in after the first one. And then the third, the fourth, . . .

You wind up with a string of pieces all joined together like paper dolls. Then you clip them apart and go for it again.

At last we get to step two.
Sew the strip to the square.


then do it again.

And after pressing, it's time to square things up.

Tomorrow, step three!

But in the meantime, knitting has been going on. A quick angora scarf. It's just a whisper of warmth. I get a fair ammount of knitting time while I proctor GEDs.
