Progress

 I have a stack of these granny squares in a box and I have slowly been adding the grey border around some. Another one into the grey round added pile.

The brown hexagons got stitched and into sets of two. I just need to get these stitched together and then I'll start assembling my row of them for the next column. This is the second column of 4 that I am adding to the existing quilt.

I have the yellows and 2 of the green peels added to this bead block. I am using needle turned applique for them. There is something soothing about needle turned applique. I'm using my silk blender threads for the colors and a matching green Gutterman on the green peels.

These are the 3 that I did last year. I see I need to select a red and prep another red block so I have 2 of them, I'll also select another yellow while I am cutting so I have 2 of yellow as well. I envision 16 of these blocks to make a wall hanging - so I need 2 each of 8 colors.
Note to self, pink, purple, blue, teal, bright green, yellow, orange, red. Light and dark of each color if I can or brights. Mix up in the 4x4 quilt. Maybe a green peel border? 

I hope to get a little red play time in this evening. 

April fools stitching

 It appears I was in a hand work mode yesterday. Unfortunately, the special elections were not my district in Florida.

I added the grey surround on these two while waiting on my 20 minutes to stretch the sourdough bread. I let it double overnight and then formed it into my loaf pan this morning. It took another few hours to rise and I have it in the oven now baking. I logged off work as I was tapped to drive my FIL to his Dr appointment today. (Standard eye doctor appt as he has missed a year from being in rehab) Greg's head is feeling wonky. I had offered and he took me up on it this time. I'll work tomorrow morning at work to make up the hours. 

I had time at my lunch to stitch a few of these purple hexagons and then finished them off after work and got them into a twosie. I also got one of the 3 browns done. 

Then I opened the baggie with the string of bead blocks and the yellow had one peel attached. I added the other two and have the third one pinned, before I needed to make dinner and then pick up Emily from flag practice. It appears they are now prepping for a fun show the end of the month, so instead of 7:15 they only practice until 6 and then fold the floors for a 6:15 pick up. I have more of these bead blocks prepped - light and dark blue, light and dark pink and this yellow. I have one red completed and a light and dark purple. I believe I was planning 2 of each color and the outer 4 peels will be a consistent green. The four middle petals change to the color of the month. I saw this pattern back in the 1990's and loved it in purple and green. It only took me 30 years to finally give it a try! 

Dinners so far this week. Monday was eggroll in a bowl using some hot italian sausage and the leftover cabbage I had in the crisper. Tuesday was Crispy Parmesean baked Chicken and veggies. Aidan mentioned the shrimp in the freezer, so tonight I'll grill those up with various veggies and maybe some sweet potato fries.
