Quilting Life Somewhat Interrupted


Before I could get a post written last week, four days filled with houseguests arrived and I did not darken the door of my studio all week.  So, all I have to write about occurred two weeks ago! 

 


I finished 15 Anti-Ouch Pouches for the Guild Service Project.  These are the tools I have collected specifically for making these pouches.  It has really helped having a dedicated kit for those times I work on them away from home.

 


I don’t expect this year’s crop of Bluebonnets to be very showy, at least in our area.  But they are weeds and can manage to survive in unexpected places.  This one is growing next to the street curb and has avoided the mower.

 


This has been a very good year for Mountain Laurels.  I managed (barely) to catch a butterfly on one of our trees.

 

I thoroughly enjoyed the company I had last week.  Julia and I binge watched Netflix and visited multiple thrift stores.  Bob’s brother, Dave, also popped in briefly.  Family trumps quilting but, hopefully, I can get more stitching done this week.

I didn't know Bluebonnets were weeds. They must be in the same category as Dandelions then.

Your mountain laurel with the butterfly is gorgeous! You are lucky to have a patch of bluebonnets. They may be weeds, but people sure have trouble getting them to grow! I look every time we go into town for the first blooms on the highway, but so far nothing. Glad you enjoyed the houseguests!

I didn't realize blue bonnets were weeds either, I noticed in packages of wild flower seeds that I got to scatter in an area includes those too - I do hope they will grow I think they are pretty and sometimes the "weeds" grow best in my yard!!
