Our weather is crazy. Rain, rain and more rain. Everything is flooded. The Toronto Islands are swamped. Sandbags everywhere and still the water in the lake continues to rise. There are gigantic carp swimming in the baseball field. Ducks have taken over as have the Canada Geese. Rouge Beach at the end of Lawrence is flooded. If you go there don't expect to get a parking space. The water has overflowed and the whole park is a swamp. It's the same everywhere. I am straining to keep my garden alive, not because it is dry, but because it is too wet. My plants are rotting.
But with all this rain. I have been busy in my sewing room.. I am making two baby quilts that I can't show yet. One has to be done in the first week of July and the other one should have been completed in March. I'm working on it.
Also working on a red and white quilt for Canada\s 150th birthday. I found it when I was cleaning up,. It was originally meant to be a wheelchair quilt, but my mother has since died. So I decided to make it a bit bigger.
I thought I had completed required number of blocks, but then it seemed as if I didn't have enough. I knew they were somewhere in that mess of a sewing room of mine. So I spent the day yesterday cleaning up and low and behold, I found the missing blocks. I think I will make a few more and make my quilt even bigger. But then I will have to have it quilted by my longarmer. I hope she can do it before the 1st of July.
I have also been working on a scrap quilt. Little 1.5 by 3.5 scraps. I thought I had millions of them, but now I have run out. Time to put this baby on hold until I have some more scraps.

And another ongoing scrap project that was in my way. More on this one later.
And here is a scrappy Canadian Flag. I saw this on Pinterest and decided it had potential. Don't know what though. Any ideas?
As you can see, the sun was shining when I took these photos. But the sky was thundering and the rain was pelting down. Like I said, "Crazy weather".

Beautiful quilts! Love the scrappy ones.
Funny how things disappear! My work place is small, and I'm still always losing things! Your projects are super! Perhaps a nice Canadian Flag pillow?
