The sewing part of my week has mostly been consumed by
trying to finish the applique on Esther’s Bloomers. Progress is slow, but at least it is
happening. One more set of half circles
needs to be stitched and petals are beginning to happen.
During those times when I just want a break from handwork, I’ve
resumed making anti-ouch pouches for breast surgery patients. I’ve let this project slip during the
pandemic, but there will be a guild pick-up for finished pouches next week and
I want to have something to contribute.
One of my Christmas cacti is making a show. The blooms are always pointed downwards and I
was curious to see how they look. I
turned on the selfie mode of my phone camera and even though the focus is bad,
I think the result is interesting.
For three years this mud nest was built and occupied by
swallows. Some other kind of bird is
using it this spring and they are adding lots of straw to the mud base. I only thought it couldn’t get messier.

That was a clever idea how to take a photo of the cacti bloom.
I had to read you comment 2 times - it is funny! Next time you do BOM like this one let me know! I may be tempted! This is going to be a beautiful quilt! Have a great week! We are having a lot of Oak trees blooming! Bluebonnets are all around so I guess it is summer - going to hit in the 90's this week.
Your applique is lovely! I so love hand stitching! Thank you for your contribution to breast cancer patients. I'm sure the recipients are grateful for your kindness!
