My spring yard

Well, I bought flowers for my front yard and on Mother's Day the guys got them planted. There are two light and two dark pink carnations, plus to white flowers. Only a couple of the hydrangeas

came back.

These are in front of Ethan's windows. They are suppose to grow to about 4 foot tall. They are a light lavender. I'm really looking forward to seeing them bloom more.

Here's my pole Hydrangea. We had to move it from a nicer spot but it seems to have come back nicely. I'm hoping it will flower again this year. they are sort of a small white cluster.

I just wanted a little color in front of the house. I thought about getting a few pansy plants but they all thought this was enough. I think it was because they didn't want to do any more planting.

Ruler organizer almost finished.

Well, the front is finished at last. Now I have to find a backing..think I have one with coffee cups that I might use. Not sure why but the colors remind me of coffee.

The only part I'm not crazy about is the top pocket. All the pockets are made of 5 inch squares with a tuck at the bottom center. They all seem okay but the top one is so floppy. I think if I put the large rulers in the pocket they will just fall forward so I think I need to make the tucks a little longer. It might make the pockets stand up a little better.

This was a pretty quick project, now to finish it up. So the next couple weeks will be getting the ufo's ready to quilt.

finally a picture

Well, I finally laid out the pockets and took a picture. Now I have to sew a strip to the bottom and top of a couple then stitch them all together. Funny thing is I don't remember if there is batting as a liner.

I'm sort of excited to get it finished. I've wanted to make something for my rulers for a long time and just never found the right pattern. this one just seemed right. The pockets seem a little big but once it's all done and hanging on the wall it will hang right.

more pictures when all done.
