This and That

     The past week I spent more time in the kitchen and garden than quilting. I used about 20 lbs of pears to make pear chutney.

I worked one morning in my yard then visited sister Irene and helped her in her yard a couple of days. She sent me home with a small quilt top to quilt for her.

A couple of afternoons I did some simple sewing. I added a border to a scrappy floral top.

I started cleaning scraps off my cutting table and decided to make another placemat. I pieced the 2 color binding for a faux flange but have not attached it yet.

I pulled another UFO to work on but needed to purchase an accent fabric. That is now washed and ready to be used.

     I still have more pear to deal with so this week I know that is one thing that will keep me from sewing. I hope I will accomplish more.
