WiP Wednesday 4/3

Wow, I can't believe it's Wednesday already! I've got a lot of "stuff" in the works!
 First is a bottle makeover ala Pinterest. For the original project see here!
 Luke is using parts from my dissembled Pallets to make me some mini raised beds for spinach and carrots.
 I started this quilt (Giant Star Quilt Tutorial by In Color Order), but it's on pause as I realized the white I was using was actually intended for my Summer Sampler and I better finish that one so I know how much white I have to allot to my giant star quilt!
 But before that, I had to fix this block that was just holding me up. The underneath fabric was showing through the triangles in the corner square. At first I thought I could handle it, but I think it was the subconscious reason I hadn't put the blocks together yet.
 So, the block got dismantled, fixed, and reassembled. 
 And now the blocks have been sashed and joined.
 Now I'm trying to do the math for the border (and the border to make the border fit properly.) Yaaaaay quilting math! (Students always wonder when they're actually going to use the math I teach them. "For when you decide to quilt" doesn't always carry a lot of weight with most of them. After doing our taxes (we live life on the edge and wait 'til the last minute) my brain votes to pick this project up in the morning.
 Grand Finale: We're working on finishing off these amazing scalloped potatoes!
I've been afraid of scalloped potatoes since '07 when I decided we would try to make them for the first time for a camp of 150 people. There are like three things wrong with that statement. Anyway, I re-attempted scalloped potatoes and they were AWE-some. The only reason finishing them is still a WIP is because we're both lactose intolerant and they have lots of CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEESE!

I'm linking up with Lee at Freshly Pieced and WiP Wednesday!

A Different Kind of Weekend

Being married to a golf pro my Easter weekend looks a little different from ya'lls. They're busier days for Luke, so we take our time together after.
So while he was working, I started this quilt! I'm pretty proud of how my points are coming together!
 So proud I took pictures!
On Sunday I went to "the club" and took some pictures of the Easter egg hunt for Luke. This one cracks me up!
 Before and after taking pictures of the hunt, I sat on the back patios and did some crocheting! There was hardly any wind (practically a miracle) and the sun was shining bright! I was in heaven! 
When I was "done" soaking up some sun, I went home to start taking apart the pallets that were hanging out in our garage after our pallet collecting adventure back in January
Happy Easter! And Happy April! If only we didn't have snow in the weather predictions for tomorrow.
