Purple

I have been quilting this scrappy quilt 
and I like it more than I ever did before.


We have been to our last baseball game of the year.
We lost.....however,
this shirt will be perfect for his t-shirt quilt.


I came home from State Baseball to find that only purple things blooming in my yard.
These guys are about month early.


Don't you love that herbs can be pretty and tasty?


My mothers day gift was a pony pack of purple pansies.


I planted these last year and they came back in a very lovely way.


I love lilacs.
They are so pretty.

Feeling a little Beachy today

I have been working on this for a couple of weeks.
To be honest, I don't even remember how long ago I pulled fabric for it,
but I have been working on it a little stitch at a time.


It makes me happy.

Finishing up Between Games

My week has been busy with baseball as well as a beautiful banquet 
for 'distinguished students' in the area.

My first Christmas present for next year is quilted, binded and ready to go.
When my kids were young, I made them pajama pants or shorts.
This quilt is made from the scraps.


This quilt looks great in a picture,
but up close it just looks BUSY!
I posted it on facebook and everyone seems to be happy to have it,
but really, I don't know.


I felt the quilting needed to be minimal, yet it needed some movement.


We have more baseball this week.
I am hoping to baste a quilt Monday after school.

Good to be Home

I finished this cross stitch.  I'm looking forward to visiting the Redwoods this Summer with my kids.  I was home this weeke...
