Isn't it wonderful to see spring flowers in bloom again! It makes me feel happy in my heart. My daughter and I took a long drive around all the neighborhood last Sunday. The sun was shining, a breeze was blowing and we saw so many beautiful gardens in bloom. It was the peak of tulip season and magnolias were blooming as well.
I am also enjoying PINK this month, thanks to Angela. My sweet daughter loves to go thrift store shopping and brought me a lovely pink quilt top. She knows just what makes me happy, fabric of course.
I ended up trimming it down to 40 X 40 inches. Some pink calico from way back in my stash was just right for a backing. It does not require batting because it will go to a nurse near the Texas border, who gives them to mothers in Mexico who need lightweight baby blankets.
Another project I've started is using up a layer cake assortment. Don't know when or where I acquired it, but I'm taking one more step to get rid of my stash.
These animals of all kinds will delight some child in need. I will be making two more lightweight blankets from this collection. I love layer cakes because they piece together so quickly.
Have a happy weekend everyone and especially all you moms and grandmas!

I would say that your daughter rescued that thrift store quilt top and brought it right where it needed to be! What a great idea for a good use for it, too.
ReplyDeleteFlowers and thrifting, and quilting for those who need it! All wonderful, uplifting, and fun. Hope this week is just as good.

What a pretty little rescue quilt! I love the fabric in that layer cake, too. These are great lightweight quilts for a warm climate. Happy Mother's Day to you, too!
ReplyDeleteHow cute are those fabrics. There will be a quilt in no time.
ReplyDeleteFabulous thrift store find and such a thoughtful daughter!! It's positively perfect for PINK month. Wouldn't you agree?!
ReplyDeleteWhat a shame to waste a quilt top, thank goodness Angela rescued it. Lovely animal fabrics in your layer cake, you seem to have a never ending stash.
ReplyDeleteNeat to hear about the Mexico charity. It makes sense to leave the batting out in such a warm country. That layer cake is really darling, I love all the animals and geography! I've never seen that line.
