a great saturday. for both h-kun and i. he was out of town surfing. and i was in town hanging out with friends. one was a long-time-no-see friend. and it was just like old times. love that.
on sunday we headed to our favorite park. the sun was amazing. we found a large group of unicyclists practicing. and we sat and watched them. for a really long time. ooohhing and aaahhing. and cheering them on. these flowers were right behind me. oh, i love spring. and afternoons like this. no plans. just wandering. and enjoying.
and i finished off a pile of pouches. that have been waiting for the finishing touches. for too long. and quilt 07 got quilted. i've got my fingers crossed that the binding will get done. this week.
Sounds like a great weekend to me!

The pouches look cute! Are they gifts? You should sell them in your store!

What a great reminder to me to stop and smell the flowers, even during a weekend sewing frenzy! I only wish I had cherry blossoms to see.

I love that first photo - the color is incredible, and it's such a clear shot. Are the finished pouches in your shop?

I am simply in awe of how productive you are! I just hope that your apartment is an absolute mess - at least then I feel that things are in balance! I love your quilting activity too - I have two started for the girls, using squares of their old clothes, but it moves slowly. The other day I was at the fabric store looking at a lovely organic cotton batting and it felt so lovely, so snuggly warm, I just wished I was at the stage of doing that part of it. I've never made quilts before, but I'm most looking forward to putting the layers together and doing the quilting, the heaviness of it in my hands is very appealing.

Beautiful photos of the flowers, Leslie.
How often does one get to see a large group of unicyclists nowadays? That must have been a real experience!

That flower picture makes me want to come visit you.
Go you with the quilts! You rock!

Your flower pictures are so beautiful, Leslie. Over here we are still very much wating for spring to arrive ... but some flowers have appeared during the last few days. I think I'll have to go out and take some photos before the snow will cover them up once again. I really do love your quilts they are so inspiring - can't wait to get my #1 done. Still procrastinating though - but I have practised the binding technique with another project and it turned out just fine. So maybe I'm getting there ...

Hi Leslie!
Your little parcel of fabric arrived today and I love it. My parcel for your sister in law is ready to go but I can't get to the post office until Saturday - so it should be on it's way then!!
