It is a 3 day weekend for us in the USA with Memorial Day on Monday. I've got plenty of hand work prepped and ready to go for little bits of time this coming week. I finished off the Hexagons QAYG column this week so it was time to prep some more to be stitched and quilted this coming week. I cut some 3 inch backgrounds and 2 inch hexagons from colored fabrics and leftover warm and natural batting strips.
I had prepped two more of the orange peels for the string of beads blocks last week and started on the first orange one. There will be 2 teal ones left to prep to finish off this collection of 16.
For a change of pace, I pulled out the crochet hook and added 4 more grey surrounds onto the existing granny square blocks. The right side is the stacks still waiting for their grey to be added. At some point I'll start connecting them together. It might be groups of 9 similar blocks, it might be a checkerboard, I'll decide later but it is moving forward. I do have another skein of each of the 3 blue colors so I could make more of any of them if needed to fill things out.

Such pretty projects to be working on, Deb. ;)))
I'm Going to be concentrating on Elliphante --my concentration seems to only last for a small amount of time..no stamina right now...not surprising i guess...
That is such a pretty orange you are using..is it Moda or Kona? or other?.. Those beads are lovely...
Stay safe and take care--still going to be sort of MIA if you don't see many comments from me this coming week..I will be reading your posts, though...wouldn't miss that ;))) hugs, Julierose
Oh P.S. my brain!! What did you think of Norris' win??? I was so happy for him...interesting your working in Papaya colors hahaha
You didn't say if you the 'boy child watched the Indy 500!!! I do watch that race--enjoy the preshow and learning all about the drivers--I was sad to see the first guy spin out on the warm up laps--poor guy!! And then later through out the race--what 4-5 good drivers crashed out or something--with 2 big crashes on pit alley!! And of course Kyle L--the nascar driver crashed out--then flew to down to do the Coke 600--where he also crashed himself out!!! The winner of the Indy sure was an excited guy along with all his 'peoples'!!! Happy stitching-hugs, di
