Azalea's and Wisteria

I haven't been down in my sewing room much latley.  So not too much quilting has been going on around here.  A very dear friend had surgery two Tuesday's ago, and I have been sitting and watching over her.  Strong meds kept her out of it most of the time, and I've told her on several occasion's that we are going to have lots to laugh about down the road!  I have walked the dog, and the biggest thing I notice on my walks is Azalea's and Wisteria with some Iris for good measure.  Though, I didn't take any pictures of the Iris.  My Remy Girl gets going, and doesn't want to stop for photo shoots.

And in my Dear friends back yard are some beautiful pink flowers.  I think they are Philodendron?  I Love this time of year.

This week-end is being spent with my two Grandson's.  Dinner and Ice Cream, and Happy Birthday to Nan were at Friendly's.  Tomorrow will be Breakfast buffet at Chesapeake Beach Rod N Reel.  Best Pre-Birthday celebration ever. So I'm good with not being down in the sewing room.

My two Superhero's!

Happy piecing, happy sewing,

Managing Me time, Family time and Spring time

Oh, how I love Spring.  I also love quilting and embroidery, but these two are not Spring weather friendly. Watching my almost 8year old Grandson play baseball, and planting flowers, and anything done outdoors is what I would rather do, so quilting and embroidery have been put on the back burner for me.  So on Thursday, April 30th I wanted to get this finished, so that was first on my to do list.

Then started this knowing that Friday would be a no sew day since I was planning on driving up to PA for an evening baseball game.

The top and bottom borders aren't sewn on yet, but it's an almost finished quilt top, and I will quilt it in the hoop on my Brother PR 1000.  
Friday afternoon, I drove up to PA for Baseball. 

Let's go Gator's!
Saturday was spent with my man.  First stop Homestead Gardens in Davidsonville, MD. Oh the Beautiful flowers!  And I put all my housplants out on the front porch for the rest of spring, and through summer.  They love being out there, but I had to wait a little longer this year for warmer weather.

Sunday was more beautifu weather, so a drive overe to my Dear Mother in Laws house for a surprise visit, and impromptu dinner outside finished out the weekend.  So here's to managing my me time, family time and spring time.

Happy Spring, Happy piecing,
Sheila
