Mum and G at Riverfest, View of the Shannon river with Thomand Bridge and King John's Castle |
I have to say a big thank you to my Instagram swap partner@stichedbybetty for my May the 4th be with you mini quilt swap! I received a brilliant package full of R2 extras and a light saber inspired mini quilt for my wall!
Other happy post included the next rounds of our Round Robin bee - we have a bit of a bottle neck due to one member traveling the world and now catching up. I added very minimally to these to get them moving on again. I turned the triangles into arrows and echoed the grey squares on the first one and then, extended the HST to flying geese by bringing back some text print that I saw had been used in the starting block for the second. Still working on the amazing curved block - hoping The Improv Handbook will help me with ideas!
Not too much wandering outside the sewing room - the design wall looks like this in preparation for the class in June - Traditional blocks made modern. I am definitely going to make a quilt for myself using my dog fabric and the modern economy block.
Lastly. Wilbur is delighted to be home after his adventure at the Veterinary College. There's still lots of sleeping and yawning. Makes me tired just looking at him. He has developed a hard case of selective hearing as he is getting very good at ignoring me calling him off the sofa! I have resorted to schmackos from time to time to get him moving! I think he is training me!

ReplyDeleteUnlucky me to be in Limerick the only rainy day this week. It is so different but lovely to walk around :)
ReplyDeleteYour traditional blocks made modern are wonderful and your class is going to be a great success Ruth!
ReplyDeleteGreat work on the round robin additions too.
The festival looks like so much fun! Glad you got the sunny days for it!
Does it get any cuter than photos of Wilbur yawning? I think not! LOL
You have a great collection of photos this month. The Riverfest looks amazing :)
ReplyDeleteThose puppy paws and faces, how sweet!!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for linking up on Wandering Camera, Ruth! Riverfest looks so colourful and very festive! The carousel is beautiful! So much quilty goodness, but Wilbur got a hold of me! He looks so sweet. I would have hard time saying no to that face :)
