It has been a while since I have shared any highlights, so here are a few from May!
The sky is ever the highlight of every day :)
 |
| it always amazes me how far north the sun rises this time of year! |
Nash, the wanderer, found much fresh, wild asparagus!
Some sewing highlights that haven't quite made headlines lately:
My stash o' solids is slowly growing! Yay!
 |
| I am intentionally buying random 1/2 yds any time I get to the big city! |
I've also pieced the central part of this quilt for my son, Ben! A thin border of red, then white to size yet to go!
 |
| A Moda Bake Shop recipe called Peaks and Paddocks |
And I have added another round on the Scrappy Vortex! I considered just using black and white gingham, but think the scrappy black and white is what it called for!
I want to make it longer yet...I may keep adding to the top and bottom with the black and white scraps. Any brilliant suggestions welcome :)
The last sewing highlight...sewww excited! I am finally using/making/doing leaders and enders!!!
 |
| only squares right now...multi sizes |
In other news, I am happy to report that 2 pairs of Tree Swallows quickly scoped out and moved in to my bird houses! Yay! They are my favorite!
 |
| we always call them "Handsome" and "Beautiful" :) |
And speaking of moving in, we have put our wilderness home on the market, and will be moving out,
yet this summer we hope! A bit more on that a little later :)
I don't know if you are able to see the barn quilt on the front, which has caused some to refer to ours as "the Sunflower House", which pleases me :)
I went to the mountains with the guys, looking for bears....
and found an elk, with her brand new calf...
 |
| she is the tan spot just left of center...honest! |
25 miles in that direction, over the mountains, is our grocery store...
100 miles in that direction, is home!
See? I do get out of the yard!
I hope your season is off to a great start wherever you are!

Wow - lots of everything going on with you! Your pictures are beautiful as always, but my favorite is that Scrappy Vortex - keep going!
beautiful photos as always Sarah!!! We live out of city limits but not quite to the wilderness :)
You've been bust! I like that you made the quilt border scrappy! It really looks great. Good luck selling your house :-) I hope it goes well!
It is so very beautiful where you live Sarah! All those wide open spaces must be food for the soul.
I really love your scrappy vortex - that black and white scrappy round is the best!
I need to train myself to think about leaders and enders too.
