Continuing On - April

 As always  - April in NC means an abundance of flowers to enjoy - even if you stay in your own backyard - so to speak!

Some kind of boredom and you make twisted rope from scrap fabric to make containers.

Day two - red scraps.

Added to the 3 inch snowball blocks until that became tedious.

And the start of another donation quilt for kids

Had this cat fabric forever - bought it in Raleigh when the Hancock's Stores were still in business.

Not crazy about the cat border but will probably leave it as is.

I think it measures 42 x 50".

Made the backing for it and the other donation quilt also.

 I started this quilt in 2015 and finished it in 2018.  It is one of my favorited I have wished I would have made it large enough for a queen size bed so............

 I have been paper-piecing like crazy.   Needed a coping project. 

I have enough arcs for 25 - 16" blocks. 

I don'r have any background fabric yet.  I ordered 3 possibilities on the 24th.  

The company is short-handed so they probably won't ship for another couple of days.

Palm Sunday weekend we lost my younger sister Jane.

She was a sweet sister - calm and quiet.

 Beloved Mother, Grandmother and Aunt.

I don't recall her ever putting anyone down.

We will all miss her and her sweet smile.

Hopefully the family will be able to gather for a celebration of her life this summer.
