My friend Sandy and I recently learned that our neighbor had lost her mother. Like most daughters, Angela loved her mom a lot and the loss hit her pretty hard. Naturally Sandy and I thought a quilty hug would be a good thing for her.
I used my Go!Cutter again to cut more of the half hexagon blocks and Sandy sewed them together with design advice from her husband. He did well, didn't he!
I quilted it. This is a shot of the back.
And with the binding.
It's a pretty one, I think, and it blessed her, which is the main thing. I love it that we can do things together to let a friend and neighbor know we love her and are thinking of her and praying for her and her family.
And now in the never ending saga of life at Muddle Manor, I am pressing and trimming leftover half square triangles trimmed from another project. These are being trimmed to an inch and a half then four of them sewn together into pinwheels. They will be cornerstones for an idea I had.
This year we are trying some of the grow bags out in the back yard. There are pimiento peppers in the bag in the foreground and they are growing splendidly! Not too excited about that corn back there though. We'll see.
I hope your week is going well and that there are lots of things to make you smile!
Hugs and kisses,

I saw someone using grow bags for vegetable plants on YouTube. Neat idea.
Always fun seeing some of your chickens photo bomb your pictures. He knows CORN is growing in that grow bag.
