Random 5 Friday

1)  My Mother's Lilacs

 

 My Mother passed away several years ago after a long decline in health and in her older years she was not able to care for her garden and flowers.  Her favorite lilacs had become overshadowed by a large tree and had become woody and had withered away to just one small bush crowded by other growth.  That last bush had not bloomed in years.   My hubby and I were able to save this last one by transplanting and tending and now it blooms again each spring and I like to think My Mother is smiling.

 

2) The Katniss on her leash

 

Here is Katniss outside on her leash watching the birds and waiting patiently by the chairs for her humans to return.  Hubby was working in the yard and went in to make a cup of coffee and I was cat sitting and decided it was a photo opportunity.

 



3) The Butterfy had pressing matters

 

Butterfly was a very busy and helpful kitty in my sewing room today. We are making  The Bride's Choice table quilts for Our Girl's wedding.

4) My First Bed Quilt!

 

This quilt was made for my daughter to take to college. This photo was taken eight years ago by her in her dorm room.  I thought this photo was lost and just happened to come back to me this week. It is a treasure.  

I love the little detail of the lipstick rolling around on the floor.

I blogged about this and my first quilt this week I reached the blogging  milestone of my 300th post. I like to think my quilting has come a long way since that quilt.
