My Gratitude Transforms me.

Boo on the back porch admiring my huge bolt of Kantha Cloth.
It was made for Valori Wells. It looks handmade but I do not know how that can be.
It would take me forever to do this and there are bolts and bolts sold commercially.
I think this is a gift that will keep on giving.  Bolt label said it cannot go in the dryer, so I have to be careful as to what I make from it...Exciting!

Some days are good and some not so good.
Hope is yellow today, in the bloom of a Daffodil.
I slept all day long.  Tonight, in the dark, I went outside to baste a quilt.  It was a small one but I could do  it.  My son used to spray baste all my quilts.  I miss that.  He was so helpful.  Now, it is hard for me to cut the batting and arthritis makes it hard to baste.  But, carry on I do...and this one will be done in the next few days for my finish number three of 2022.
I love my new electric Accuquilt. Last night I cut for still another new  project.  All my projects are smallish  now-a-days.  Off, to organize a mess as kids will be home tomorrow morning xo

Dabbling in Boring Blue

 

                                                  Boring Blues top finished.

I have a perfect backing for it, but I do not want to use it.
I want to savor it and pat it and love it on my shelf...Dear, dear me!!
Ok Ok, I used it.  See, these bears are really dark blue...It is so perfect...Sigh, why is it so hard to use favorite fabric????
Sun in Charlotte brings a good day, made better by my Boo!
Meg and I,  at least five year fellow travelers in the widowhood of ALS.
Yesterday, we met for the first time...Soooo wonderful!!
Tonight, as I was just settling in, enjoying my very clean house....this present appeared on my door step.

Within minutes, Boo had chosen Kantha cloth by Valori Wells, over Kaffe.

I wonder if this video upload will work. I am not very good at this. I hope so. Aoife is following her shadow and waving goodbye to it.
The very best for last...Our Aoife finds her shadow!!!
So cute.
I do not know how people find out that I love fabric!!!!!
An outing to the grocery store  today, 50% masked and 50% not masked. The mask mandate for  North Carolina was lifted  yesterday. I, however, mask up. Going to sew a bit before bed.  Glad, after all, that I used the bears for my boring blue quilt.
Guild Sit and Sew once I am up in the morning.
