RSC26 -- Orange

May is just too busy for me.  I have not played with orange scraps at all.  Here's the beautiful orange poppy I have to show:

There are more blooms coming this week.  It's a large poppy variety.

In the fall of 2024 I threw down some Mixrug poppy seeds near the orange poppies above.  This is happening right now:

I'm hoping more of these bloom.  How exciting!!!  I wasn't expecting this one to bloom since it didn't grow last year.  But now I know it did, it's just the plants were too small to produce blooms.  YEAH!!!

Why is May so busy?  Our son is graduating TOMORROW!!!  He is LOVING the kind birthday cards and grad cards coming to his PO Box!  Thank you sooooo much!  Quilters kindness is amazing.

I'm going to try to do a little quilting on the longarm today so that I have a binding to sew at school on my lunch periods during the last three student days.  But first I must get all the math grading done and the room ready for the regular teacher next year.  We have a teacher work day on Friday and that will be a wrap for this year.  I'm ready.  Bring on summer.

I did make it 3/4 of the way around the quilt with the hand stitching of the binding on Kite Girl.  This is what the quilt looks like.  Hopefully I'll have a finish to show next week.  Stay tuned!  It doesn't have a designated home.  I do love the old fashioned feel of the green I picked.  I hemmed and hawed for a long time if I should do pieced kites in the border or something.  I'm happy with it like this -- and not a UFO much longer.

I'm linking up at Angela's blog, SoScrappy, for the RSC26.
