A Piecing Fool

I've finished putting together the baby quilt top that was on the wall in my last post, and sewn together another 20 orphaned stars to make a fourth top.  Apparently I need to put "basting" on my calendar this week.  I'm ready and rarin' to go!  Let's finish something!

But first, I would like to finish the project begun in Susan Brubaker Knapp's class, at Empty Spools.  On Saturday evening, I picked out some knotty quilting, and am just looking for the time to re-quilt it and finish.  Goals are good, doncha know?  :)

Yesterday was Mother's Day, and the faraway kids sent flowers.  ooh!  aah!  I felt special!  :)

 My daughter sent peonies, which rapidly EXPLODED into a celebration of petals.

 I've never seen them up close and personal.  Each one is distinct and beautiful.  I took LOTS of pictures.

 My son's flowers arrived when I was out back, enjoying a glass of water, my iPad kindle, and the weather.  (Note the dirt in the backyard.  You now know why my house has been painted such a happy color.)

And, hmmm.  I think that's about it.  I made a list yesterday, of the things that are of high priority this week.  uh oh.  I still have three major quilt show wrap-up tasks, as well as six big quilting goals.  None of them involve baby quilts.  I suppose if they're already late, a few more weeks won't make that much difference, will it?

And on that note, I'd better get to work.  Happy quilting!!
