It was a pretty typical Mother's Day around here yesterday - my husband played golf and I sewed. And he asked me what was for supper. But he did grill the steaks I had bought for Saturday, that no one was hungry for. Quite normal for our house, as he has reminded me for decades that I'm not "his" mother.
I have the final red border to add to this Pillow of the Month project from last fall. My plan to quilt it is just some simple matchstick lines I think. The back is an envelope style with that same red fabric. But the binding is a red and white stripe that will really wake it up.
More green heart blocks came to life as well. And I pulled out the brown fabric that I'll be needing for binding my Farmers Wife Sampler. No progress on that to report however.
A couple of hours were also spent catching up with my online students. This next week is the end of the semester, so they are frantically trying to finish up any pending assignments. I'm really ready to put this behind me.
What's on Your design wall this week?

Spending your Mother's day sewing isn't all bad! I started mine out by washing the vinyl floors in the kitchen, laundry and bath. Then I said no more work, I played with my rubber stamps until daughter and kids stopped over.
ReplyDeleteHow well I remember the rush of activity at the end of semester! I can’t imagine myself doing it anymore. Love the apple blocks.
