Monday in May

 To see what other quilters are up to go to Small Quilts and Doll Quilts.

Today my post is more about what is going on in my yard than quilting. 

Quilting first: Sewing down the binding on Son's deer quilt.

I have finished piecing Units A, B, C, D, E, and F of Coral Reef. Next is Unit G, then putting it all together.

Clue 4 for the Quilter's Exchange Mystery my group is doing was emailed yesterday. I have half the HSTs made.

Lastly, I pieced a 6-inch block for the 365 Challenge. I plan to show it at fair if there is one this year.

It appears the frost and cold weather didn't really affect much.

Lilacs are in full bloom. Outside smells pretty amazing. 

The Lily of the Valley are about to bloom.

The apple tree is in full bloom. 

The Rhododendron is blooming. This plant has not bloomed in several years so that is pretty amazing.

I saw a Baltimore Oriole yesterday, a rare sighting for me. I had taken down the hummingbird feeders because the wind was just making them leak. I cleaned them well and put them back out this morning along with some grape jelly. Shortly after that, I had this visitor.




I spent three days last week with my son. We both spent a day with my parents. I am so thankful he has his dog for company.

I think the dog enjoys my visits, too!
