Commencement

I started this blog four years ago, when dear younger son went off to college and I was sad. This weekend, he graduated from University. Dear older son drove out from Arizona for the event. So, it was a wonderful weekend – we were once again all together! And finally, the Kings won, and younger son shaved off his playoff beard, but older son said he hadn’t had time to shave:

I have told myself no more buying fabric…
Well, leave it to my Quilty friends to surprise me with fabric! After we’ve been quilting together for a while, we know exactly what the others like. And here are the cute, colorful vintage fabrics they got me. Thanks Ellie & Donna – so sweet!

I finally made myself a pin cushion. I used an extra block from the quilt I made for my mother-in-law. It measures nearly 10″ in diameter!
I made my boys car steering wheel covers. It gets very hot inside the car here in Southern California as well as in Arizona. I found this wonderful fabric of Our Lady of Guadalupe by Alexander Henry. It was the perfect design! I appliqued and stippled:
And finally, this has been a long time in the making. A blog friend gifted me with vintage fabric that she had held onto for 30 years! I wanted to make her something, and I finally did. Quilted pot holders:
Whew! I am feeling very productive! 🙂

May Garden In June 2014 & Darlene’s Quilt

Oops! I seem to have forgotten to post about my garden last month. It has been so hot around here, I really haven’t been out in the garden much.
The Mexican primrose have been filling our garden – here are a few with the flamingos in the background:
I hosted a luncheon at my home for my quilt group. The group had been working on a quilt for our instructor Darlene, and finally presented it to her. I came in at the end of the project, so I was tasked with making the label:
