Some Progress





I delayed writing this post because just showing more petals being appliqued wasn’t very newsworthy, but it’s time to document that I am still working on Esther’s Bloomers and gradually making progress. 


 

The center has grown, and two of the applique borders are ready to be attached.

 


I had a small diversion when a neighbor asked me to hem a dust ruffle.  The quilt was made by an aunt, and the dust ruffle added by her daughter so it could serve as a bedspread.  I stitched the hem when we could see just how much fabric we had to work with. 

 


Our area is rated as being in moderate drought, so we were very happy when we had four inches of rain last weekend.   I love sitting at one of my vintage machines while it rains.

Now that hubby and I are fully vaccinated, life has loosened up just a bit.  We are still being cautious, but I have had a haircut (yippee) and we even joined our neighbors for a backyard barbeque Sunday night.

I'm glad to hear you got a substantial amount of rain in spring when it is needed. I hope we will get back into a rainy pattern soon because we are in a moderate drought too.

Your quilt looks gorgeous—love Kim Diehl. The antique sewing table is adorable. Glad you’re vaccinated and can get out a bit more. We are in severe drought in California, most counties, and it is scary.
