My company just left for Michigan to visit my SIL's brother. We had a great time because they are easy company and they feel really comfortable here. With my parents being so elderly, I always wonder if it will be the last time the whole family will be together.
The next pictures are from the really old leftovers box. This one was made in the 1976 time period with fabrics from the 60's and 70's in it. It isn't attractive at all and I keep it because of the older fabrics and a reminder of the revival of quilting.
I found a pattern for pieced zebras and made 2 of them.
I think the pieced scissors pattern might have been in an old Quilter's Newsletter magazine.
I did a lot of bargello in the mid to late 1980's and this was a leftover from a vest I made. The hearts looked interesting so I made 2 blocks to try them out.
When I was out in the garden the other day I took a picture of one of the coral bells that have really dainty white flowers. They were just starting to bloom.
We had a beautiful weather day yesterday, lower humidity and temperatures. We turned off the A/C and opened the windows. This morning there are some storms rumbling through the area. My brother timed their departure between the 2 groups and they will travelling ahead of the second batch. We haven't had any rain yet, just dark at times and some rumbling of thunder.
