Getting back to normal

I haven’t done much since we returned from the beach. Some of Chris’ friends have been visiting for golfing and fishing. Normally that would still leave me with lots of time. But yesterday I had to go to the mall and buy something to wear to a wedding. 

I’d rather dig ditches than shop for clothes. But I filled my purse with chocolate, put my ear buds in to listen to my book and proceeded to walk the mall. I decided to go into every store that might have something to fit. I did find a dress for the wedding but also some summer casual clothes that I desperately needed. It was 5 hours of torture and I will not shop again for at least a year.

Back in the sewing room I’ve made a little progress.

All of the center blocks are done and I’m working on the 24 corner blocks. Today, however, I’m going to work on quilting Mom’s quilt.

Out in the garden the dark purple irises are starting to bloom.
