ONE SMALL FINISH

I completed the small panel quilt first, doing simple free-motion quilting using my Bernina.
I spent the evening hand stitching the binding, and this morning asked DH to hold the finished quilt so I could take a picture for my records.

My next quilt in line is my "52 Blocks 52 Weeks" project from the Canadian Quilters Association in 2019.
This is a much larger project, so I am taking my time, working on it between other chores.  
 I managed to plant 2 more herbs, 2 perennials and some annuals for summer colour in my tiny garden areas in front and back of our townhome, and Mother Nature provided an overnight soaking rain to water the plants in well!

FRIDAY HEXAGON REPORT

I decided to report my hexie progress each Friday.  DH and I catch up on our TV watching in the evenings, and I stitch the whole time.  My friends and family know that if I'm sitting, I'm stitching.

I took one of my last remaining Canadian pennies out of my wallet to show the size of each hexie - the flash made it shine!  It almost covers one hexagon.  I'm glad I like the fairy frost fabric, as I've been making tons of light blue hexagons to assemble the blocks into rows!
 This is my progress as of the morning of May 10.  The top row was assembled, then had a long join.  This time, I'm joining each unit as it is completed, and taking the papers out as I go along.  It helps to break up the different tasks.  Today, I'll be sewing more light blue hexies!
