Asparagus

Here is the asparagus block. i intended to make 3 stalks of these but they were so persnickety that i barely made it through 2 of them.

Those are some tiny, tiny pieces in there...some of them 1/4" or less. i had to give up after 2.

And now i am dealing with celery and corn. the first celery i made i threw out...there wasn't enough contrast to see what it was. so the next one came out better. i am going to make 1 more of them. those pieces are really skinny. i might have bit off more than i can chew on this quilt but i will prevail.

I am going to be missing in action for a week or so after Sunday...i am going to MQS in Kansas for the week. taking some fun classes and doing a little quilt drooling and just maybe some retail therapy.

I am trying to get some home chores (mowing) done around here before i go and i still need to do laundry and start packing. and Friday is pretty much taken up with a funeral. our dear friend, Bill, died Monday night after trying to come back from a stroke for over a year. he was Jigs' 'daddy'. of course, Jigs is still hanging around our house...where the action is. LOL i don't know what will become of him. i have a feeling Ruth might be moving and probably won't take Jigs with her. he is a farm dog through and through.

Keep on keepin' on.
