Just popping in to say Hi !!

I was very spoiled by my lovely daughters and husband on Mother's Day. Look at the lovely flowers from the girls.

Just gorgeous! Kara, Allie and Jay started off by making lemon blueberry pancakes and finished up the day by grilling. I also received a nice gift certificate to the local quilt shop and some pretty new summer pajamas. It was a wonderful day with my family and I feel very Blessed to be the Mama of Emily, Kara and Allie!

I had a chance to get a little bit of sewing done, so I finished the courthouse steps blocks that will go with all of the houses. I took the picture with my phone, so it's not the greatest.

I'm going to put this quilt away until June, but I am loving the bright Civil War reproduction fabric. Oh and speaking of Civil War, I made this weeks block, Missouri Star.

I'm going to have to add more pink into the blocks because I like it!

And I've finished my Scandinavian Christmas quilt top.
TA DA!!!

It's just so darn cute! I will handquilt this one, hopefully starting by the end of the summer.

Well Oklahoma once again skipped Spring and it feels like we are well into July right now...lol....HOT and WINDY and HUMID. Not my favorite conditions, but I've got the air conditioner on and I think I'll go and sew for a bit.
Have a great week....ranette

OK, I love EVERYTHING here. You better keep your eye out on your Scandinavian Christmas quilt,if it missing it will be at my house. :D

Please keep those summer conditions. I hate it!! I wish I could live here half the year and Australia the other half. How great would that be!!!

We have had the most amazing weather here. Winter has been very slow in coming. Your scandanavian wall hanging is very cute. Time spent with family is always special.

Lovely show and tell Ranette, glad your family gave you a fabulous day. We have been having summer weather in spring but now it has reverted back to April Showers in May.
Keep up the good work.xx

You certainly had a great day! I like your courthouse steps very much. Good use of colours. You had a lot of work done lately!!
We also had summer weather, it didn't rain for over a month, that is certainly not normal for The Netherlands.
Groetjes
