The T-shirt quilt is done. Hallelujah! Praise the Lord and pass the potatoes!!! As you can tell I am pretty happy to have this project completed. Normally you cut the t-shirts so that they all equal multiples of 4 or whatever number you choose. This one didn't quite work that way. Some of the designs wrapped around the shirt or ran into seams, etc. so a bit of finagling had to be done. I hope the woman it belongs to is happy with it. Now I need to get my son's completed.
Today was primarily spent working on favors for the participants at my retreat in July. I find this to be one of the most fun parts of the planning process. I think of each lady individually and try to pick things they would like. I've really enjoyed going down memory lane with each of them today even if it was only a one sided conversation.
I spent my lunch time on the deck watching my tomatoes and sugar snap peas grow. It was a thrill to finally get a few things in some pots. I am trying pot gardening now since I do not have an actual garden in the lawn. Should be interesting. Roses do not really grow well in MI of which I am disappointed being the rose fanatic that I am. However, the peonies are spectacular. The Arboretum has about 4 acres of every variety and kind of peony. It takes your breath away. I have even found a pattern for appliqued peonies by Edyta Sitar. I'll be stitching away soon.
May you find a few minutes in your day to stitch.
