A Better Day

I've been away for a while; my youngest daughter had to have surgery and called and said she needed her mommy. So I went. It doesn't matter that she is 48, when your kid needs you, you go. The surgery was successful although she was in a lot of pain still when we left last night, but much improved when I called her this morning. It was dark and raining hard when we arrived home but as we pulled into the driveway I could see yellow in the light of the headlights -- six daffodils were blooming. A lot less than what we usually have but the sight of them made me so happy. Tiny white blossoms are beginning to appear on the wild plum tree. The earth (and me) are ready for Spring.

I made progress on the blocks for Gypsy Wife before I left. Only two more to do and then the hard part of laying them out with the 1 ½ inch strips. I have a feeling there will be some words of power uttered during that part.

15 fabrics in one block

The one on the bottom reminds me
of the New Mexico flag

Another busy block

I spent a lovely day today with my sewing ladies at our once a month get together. I wish we did it more often, we have so much fun. I brought a chili cheese crustless quiche for the potluck, and finished sewing the hanging strip on the postage stamp quilt. Two of the other gals have also signed up for the Jo Morton Little Women club this year and several are doing the 365 Challenge.

Made a quick dash into the guild meeting to pay for the retreat next month.  The guild program tonight was about t-shirt quilts, which I'm not particularly interested in so I left early to have dinner with my husband.

Strange color combination?
