What in the world???

I'm busy today with several different projects, Mom's quilt, pro bono quilt, Easter Bunny wall-hanging, cooking, cleaning and cheering on my hubby while he works in the yard. Oh and bringing him ice water...It is a beautiful Spring day, sure wish we had more like this one. I hear that tomorrow is going to be stormy. I feel so bad for the people in Arkansas and Tennessee (tornadoes) and for that matter, Midwest City and Choctaw (fires). I don't think the fires here in Stillwater damaged any homes but they did burn many acres of land and lots of hay.

Here is a small quilt that I made for my brother and his wife several years ago, like 15 I think, in honor of their living on the other side of the world. Look at that curved piecing, didn't even know I could do that...lol and the thing that shocked me when I looked at this again after all this time, I hand quilted it!!! I thought I'd only hand quilted my youngest daughter's baby quilt (took me 15 years), but no I guess I've done more handquilting that I thought. It doesn't even look half bad. :o)

 

Well back to the grind. Hopefully I'll have some finishes to put on here very soon. I'm trying!!!

that is an interesting quilt - looks like you have been at quilting for sometime too. Have a nice Easter. I sure hope we don't have bad rain tomorrow and we missed the bad storms the other day - glad the fire didn't get you.
