Grand plans and grasslands

Well, I had the best of intentions to sew a lot on our brief camping trip this weekend, but between the early darkness, trying to follow roads that turned out to be giant ruts of mud or had gates closed, and admiring the scenery of northwestern Oklahoma (no really! Black Mesa is beautiful), I didn't even open my sewing bag. Actually, my one point of contact with my sewing was when I was reaching into my larger bag to get something else and stabbed myself with some of the pins. Rude.

Anyway, here's a photo from Thursday - you can see that I have finished yet another flower and I'm only one seam away from finishing the red (top middle). I was catching up on a few webinars. :) The nice thing about making the shorter strips and priming the longer seams (where you can see the "V" of the two strips together) is that when I do convince myself to pick up one of those, I tend to mindlessly follow along until the seam is done. And it's only 4 of those big seams for each flower, so I don't need that many kicks-in-the-pants.

The coming two weekends are blissfully empty of too many plans, so hopefully I'll keep momentum going. 

Full flowers: 42/64 (5 started)
