May Makings

 As we quickly approach the end of a longer month, it’s time to post what has been happening around here.  It always helps to have a reel of pictures from the phone to remember!  Other than the normal family events of May - weddings, new babies, birthdays, Mother’s Day, graduations, First Communions, Confirmation and anniversaries, I also made a trip back to Iowa for my aunt’s funeral.  It was a true celebration of a long 94 years life and wonderful to be around so much of my family at the same time.

A bit of sewing also happened.  In my continued pursuit to finish some of the many UFOs, I finally completed my Old Glory quilt.  I had about six blocks sewn and managed to finish the rest of them, sew them into a top and get it quilted and bound.  I’m linking this up with Freemotion by the River.



Freemotion by the River is also doing a color challenge each month.  This month the color was BLUE.  I added three more stars to my collection.



The sun and I have never been able to agree on what color I should be - lobster red or beautiful bronze.  Since the red always wins, :( I made a sun hat to wear while gardening.  It is reversible and an easy sew.  The granddaughters want to come sew a few this summer so I guess I can consider it a hit.
