Happy Mother's Day!

I hope everyone is having a Happy Mother's Day and that you are getting to see your loved ones.
This came for me on Friday...from my older daughter.  I wish she could have come with it.

A glimpse of my current project...

This is my current project...I am not real crazy about it.  But it keeps me busy and is using up scraps.  Plus a little bit of yardage.

When I get the top made, I am not sure I will be able to get it ready to quilt for a while with my shoulder and arm messed up.  But I am still anxious to get it done.  There are too many things I want to make and it is always hard to narrow it down to just one.

I am too tired to think of anything to tell tonight, so will just post this and get ready for bed.

Scene from a couple weeks ago

Though this was taken a week or two ago, it could easily have been taken today. (A drive-by in case you don't notice the right side of the photo.) We had rain last night.  Lots of it.  The thunder would roll through followed by a downpour of rain.  It would not last long.  Then in a little while, the same cycle would repeat.  It did that 4 or 5 times. Water was standing in big puddles.

I finished up another step of the crumb blocks yesterday...now I just have to decide how I want to arrange them.  Not sure if I am going to work on that part today or not.  This is when I wish I had a good design wall.  It would really come in handy about now.

Also, I have been picking up shirts at Good Will.  I get sizes Large on up, and get the ones that are half price.  I have been cutting the buttons off those and cutting them apart.  I want to make another quilt from recycled material.  Not sure why when I have yards and yards of new fabric to work with.  I think it is the idea of recycling something.
