Time to do. (some) Good

Ahhh... Spring.  The sunny warmth has signaled it's time to get the garden, the house and my waistline in order.  To that end I've been planting things (mostly edibles), spring cleaning, and have started running.  Well, walking with some running thrown in.  By summer I hope to have built up enough stamina to just call it running. 

I'm feeling the itch to start a fresh, new project.  That itch, however, cannot be scratched until existing projects are completed.  I don't have many WIP's at the moment- just a couple of quilts and cushions for a thrifted chair. A short list, I know, but the lovely spring weather is proving to be a distraction.

Priority #1 is this do. Good Stitches quilt, made with colorful scrappy blocks from the Love Circle:


It only needs to be bound.  Since my month was January, it's high time this quilt was finished and shipped off to the Wrap Them in Love Foundation, don't you think? 

Priority #2 is this vintage chair.  Here are the pieces ready to be assembled into cushion covers. 


It would be lovely to finish up this weekend.  I haven't decided what to do about the frame.  I would like to paint it either yellow or aqua, but my family votes for simply re-staining it.  Or I could leave it as is for a truly shabby chic look.  Any suggestions?

  2. Ooh, your quilt is so pretty! I think painting your chair yellow or aqua would be suuuuper cool. Why does your family prefer just staining it?
