Spring is here can you tell.... My wisteria tree is very old around 35 years old and this year it was so full of blossoms so many and the blooms were very long. It really hasn't bloomed this much in years, I'm wondering if they really prefer colder weather because we had a very cold winter this year, I think colder then normal. I'm just sad that the spring flowers don't last longer but it's such a joy to see all the beautiful flowers..
I can't believe it's been so long sense I posted anything, time just seems to fly by. Lets see if I can give a good reason why I haven't posted anything in a while? One terrible thing happened and I have been nursing a sick cat, Ms. Paws~ She has a bad habit, she likes to chew on thread I have to make sure I cover the sewing machine threads if I'm using the thread tree, my new machine has a cover that goes over the top where the thread is so that's great, I've followed thread down the hall and into the family room a few times... not good! But I was working on some beading and forgot to cover up my work before going to bed, so I could continue the next day. When I got ready to work on my beading the next day I couldn't find my work, found it on the floor with the eye of the needle portion still on the fish line but the rest of the 2" needle was no where to be found. I ran a magnet over the carpet many times and had no luck! The next day my friend Ms Paws started acting as if she didn't feel good and only ate a little food. So I took her to the vets and their x-ray showed a needle in her throat. They sent us to a specialist and their x-rays showed two pieced of the needle. After a lot of thought the veterinarian decided to operated on her through her back and a mussel as he said a less invasive way to remove the needle. She is doing really good now and most of her fur has grown back, she has another two weeks of being on antibiotics, She's really good at taking her pills, she is the most active of our other cats, she is such a talker too and at times if she can't find me it really sounds as if she is calling Mama Mama!.

I've been working on Quilts in Bloom blocks and am now on block seven. This block is Miss Lily completed in April~
Miss Poppy is in progress......
I keep thinking six is half way done .... but then I stop and think about all those little flowers that have to be done on the border! But who's in a hurry ... not this quilter! And like they say Rome wasn't build in a day. But it would be wise if I only would work on one project at a time and if I would only stop jumping from on project to another! !
This is a quilt I completed in the late '90's for my grand daughter she still loves basket ball so this grandmother is trying to complete her quilt, I've been quilting it on my Horizon machine and I'm just doing a large meandering with loops and circles using polyester thread, I didn't put a border on it...that's a first for me, I'm just going to add a black binding.
A Boys Best Friend:
Austin is almost five years old and ready for Kindergarden... now there's how time fly's, I can't believe he's ready for school already. His friend Tina is always by his side and such a good little girl.
Just had to share orchids my son grew this year, he has many plants that were his grandmothers hobby, she had such a great way of making anything she touched in the garden bloom it's heart out and looks like her grand son has the same touch!
I couldn't believe how large the blooms were!
Needless to say I gave him the rest of the plants to see if he can have better luck then I have had? I'll bet he will.
Here is a quilt I forgot to post, I completed this last summer and felt I would never get it finished. I had started it in the early '90's and loved collection all the different small printed flower fabric. I really enjoyed quilting it too, I put all kinds of different flowers. One of my quilting friends suggested I applique the border before I attach it to the quilt, that was such a great tip and I'm so happy she spoke up and shared that with me. I know I would have not even thought of that! At this point I'm sewing on the binding.
Happy Quilting,
Crissie
