My, oh my, it's been a crazy busy month that sadly left me with no time for blogging. Here's my Cliff Notes rundown for those who might be interested:
I turned 65 this May! I celebrated my birthday with no stress and no pictures as I spent the day in my sewing room doing exactly what I wanted! However, a birthday trip to Paducah is in my future when time allows. I slipped right into Mother's Day from my birthday. Our son visited and the three of us had a fun day playing cards together.

Sinnissippi Quilt Guild show on May 2-3.
Cows on Parade, sew unique ... don't you just love the Midwest?

| This was a fabulous Modern Quilt |
---I zipped home Sunday night after the Sinnissippi Show and unpacked my van. Monday morning I packed up my quilts and headed for Dixon, Illinois, where I spoke to the Petunia City Quilters Guild on May 4.
 |
| I think I may soon need a fifth bin for my quilts! |
 |
| Straight from the LAQ...I opened the box during my talk and shared the excitement with the quild! |
---The Decatur Quilter's Guild invited me to speak to their morning and evening guild meetings on May 13th. It was fun to have Abe Lincoln (in a front row seat) join us for the morning lecture!
---The evening lecture followed a delicious catered banquet with these cute potted flowers as favors... note the buttons around the tops of the pots.
---Some quilts I've been working on:
(Please excuse the parallax ... these quilts were on my flannel board and it leans just a bit against the wall, making the photos somewhat distorted.)
 |
| My first "Modern Quilt." It still needs the sashing and borders. |
 |
| Done and Done! This one will soon be on its way to Heather, my favorite LAQ. |
---I hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable Memorial Day weekend, and took a few moments to think of those who have served and are currently serving our country.

---I'm working on prototypes for a workshop on "Teeny-tiny Pieces" that I'd like to offer to guilds. Here is one example (I'm planning to redo this, but just wanted to share the concept)...more/better photos to follow.
---I'm sure some of you may have seen this on the internet. It cracks me up and I hope you enjoy it too! It is a floor plan for the perfect house:
Cows on Parade, sew unique ... don't you just love the Midwest?
