My obsession with finishing up these baby quilts continues. This weekend I finished sewing up the top of the little boat quilt and the binding is ready to go on after I quilt it. I sewed up the binding for the dick & jane quilt so that is ready to go on and sewed up the binding for a sampler quilt I finished eons ago that has just been waiting - it'll be about 7 years in the making by the time I finish it. On top of all that I started a lazy 9 patch quilt, lazy because the 9 patches will be 12" square and I'm putting in some plain squares as alternate blocks.
Hopefully next weekend I will finish sewing the top of that one, quilt the boats, and sew all the respective bindings on. As always, time will tell. I have two more weekends to get these done and start on the final baby quilt. When those are done I will be free to sew whatever I want for whomever I want...but realistically I will probably take a decent break and avoid it all b/c I pushed myself so hard to finish these.

We started getting a CSA share a few weeks ago, this week we got rhubarb, strawberries, kale, collard greens, bok choy, and eggs.
I haven't ever really used greens like this so I've been using recipes from 'Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone', I make this yummy dish with the kale, spices, and cannelini beans.
I also made a strawberry rhubarb crumble which is quite delish and because dh doesn't eat desserts with cooked fruit in them, it's all mine. Which is both good and bad...
Today is the first day of summer and I'm supposed to be starting my big, giant lace project and I spent the day quilting...ah well. Maybe after dinner...
Ooh, yummy dinner! Our farm-share is what made me learn to cook and then love greens. Mmm... And strawberry-rhubarb crumble just can't be beat :) The quilts are looking gorgeous -- I'm so impressed how quickly you're getting through them!

Don't you love getting your CSA share? It's always so exciting to find food one's never cooked before, and then go recipe hunting. The kale dish looks fabulous.
Happy lace knitting!

I love the sailboats! I don't blame you for spending all day quilting...it looks great. =)

I guess that is the beauty and pitfall of a CSA: you never know exactly what you are getting and you might get some odd looking produce you've never before tried.
