I cant believe May is nearly over.

Things are moving just too fast.  Where has spring gone??? I am glad to get the rain but......
Pretty soon summer will be here arrrrgh. 
I have just two or three irises that bloom and I love them.  C gave me some more but I need to find a place they will thrive not just send up leaves.
Here is a picture of my favorite.  I call her "Drama Queen" and love the color.


                            
 
I am making another set of the Bakers Dozen calendar hangings for K who graduated with an Associated Degree and is continuing on at Mt. O.  Here is the June hanging "Mr. B"

 
Continuing with the Stitchers Garden class here are the last two pieces.  Having to do two is really pushing my time!!!  I still need to do the applique on the bottom piece and fix the borders.


C and I went to Gastonia and blazed through Foust and Mary Jo's last week.  MJ's prices are not much better than our local stores now but she does carry a large variety of fabrics under one roof.
I even picked up a Kaffe fabric to add to my stash for these blocks.  Then we stopped at Thimble Pleasures where I exchanged a foot I had ordered for one that did what I wanted.  Yes I also picked up two other Kaffe fabrics there.  They have probably one of the best collections of his fabrics around. 
Now to use up some of those fabrics.
Steadily quilting
