Budding Quilter!

This is a progress report on how my Dresden Plate quilt is coming along, and while this may not look like Dresden Plate blocks they are part of the quilt. I am going to use these for sashing, ten per side on 20 inch blocks. I haven't figured out how many I need yet, when I get all the pieces I have 

cut done then I will straighten up my sewing area which has gotten a little messy while I have been working on them.

The weather has been wonderful, we have been enjoying the warmth and sitting out on the porch to drink our morning cup of coffee.

 The iris, my favorite flowers, are blooming.

This is sage from Ambrosina's herb garden. They look like tiny iris, so pretty.

I finished this headboard last fall and David got it hung up this morning. I am going to make some matching shams for the pillows, I have a tub of tumblers cut out so I might as well use them.

So, I've been busy. Happily when I went to my nephrologist last week my kidneys are showing a slight improvement, no dialysis in the immediate future. That's good news. I think I am feeling better too.

So now it's time for an afternoon of hand work before the boys get home from their last day of school. They were really loud and excited this morning before they left. I expect they will be loud and excited when they get home. We look forward to a happy, loud summer.
