Pastels

This weekend I didn't get much sewing done because we had a cookout with friends on Saturday. The weather was gloomy but we still had a good time together. Sunday I worked on my April block for my Modern Quilt Therapy group.
 I have been watching the irises come to life. I enjoy watching them bloom. Those pastel purple irises smell just like grape Kool-aid. Do you remember drinking Kool-Aid as a child? Notice the darker iris. It was given to me by a friend.
 It was a surprise when it bloomed because I did not know what it would look like. I think it is so pretty!
This afternoon I was going through some of my UFOs. I have picked out my three for May which I will show later. Don't forget to link up here if you finished at least one of your goals this month.

With Passion,
Carrie P.
