Blooms

This is the finished quilt I made for a friend to be given to her granddaughter for her wedding. I really like how it turned out, simple and contemporary. I have extra fabric to play with for a second project if I can decide what to make.

The purple flowers are from bulbs that Mom gave me. They just look like the first day of spring. We got a good rain last night, and the dandelions exploded. Wow! I wish they were daffodills, they would be beautiful.

Today I worked on birthday and graduation and wedding stuff. The birthday and graduation are
Mike's, the wedding is for a childhood friend of Rachel's. I found something for a wedding gift. Now I need to find a box to mail it in. Nothing is easy on my day off "things to do" list. Sometimes the work days are the easy ones because they have a set structure and you just do what needs doing. At home, I have to choose priorities, and struggle to avoid getting off on a bunny trail.

I did decide to order a sewing table which will allow the work surface of the machine to sit flush with the surface of the table. It makes it easier to move the project around when I am trying to quilt it all together. I have a backlog of things I

want to do myself rather than pay a long arm quilter to do for me. The decision about buying the longarm machine is still on hold. Maybe, and then maybe not. We'll see.
