Whew! May was a busy month. First I would like to thank you all for voting for my daughter's block during the Accuquilt competition. If you read their site you probably saw the grand prize winner's block which was really neat.
So the month of May was spent with family. The first two weeks I was down in Florida helping my mom out who had surgery. She is doing okay but it will take her time to heal. One of her sisters is helping her out now. While I was at my mom's I did work on a few projects.
While I was gone my guild had a quilt show. I hated to miss it. My friend
Laura, who does my machine quilting, took my quilts I entered in the show. I won some ribbons. Best Hand Applique and a first place ribbon for this little quilt. This pattern was a free BOM by Bunny Hill Designs.
I think all quilters who enter a show are pleasantly surprised when they win this ribbon. I certainly was. This was another free BOM by Crabapple Hill.
You might remember seeing this quilt from a previous post. I won a second place ribbon.
Laura did the machine quilting. She won the best machine quilting category. I gave her the ribbon to keep.
Way to go Laura. You can see more winning quilts over at
KBQuilts. This pattern was from Dawn Heese.
While I was away two giveaways I had won arrived in my mailbox. The stack of solid fabrics on the left was from
Just Arting Around during the Quiltmaker 100 blocks magazine tour. The other stack was from
Grammie Q's when she reached 300 posts. Thanks to them both for their generosity.
The third week of May was spent in the garden when I got home from Florida. I had to weed every bed before I could plant veggies. What a job. I did go to my applique bee. Susan and Marlene had some show and tell for us.
So the fourth week of May was spent with my in-laws who came to see their new great grandbaby. He is two months old. He is now smiling which is so sweet. I will be taking care of him during the day for a while. Looks like sewing will be done while he is napping.
So that is how the past month was spent. Now for a new routine while watching my grandson.
With Passion,
Carrie P.
