May in my garden is for planting! Right around Mother's Day is when they always tell us we should be past the last freeze. So that's what I've been doing this last week.

This week I have been determined to finish up eight of the nine hearts needed for the Glowing Hearts QAL at mmmquilts. And I did achieve that goal, but not without some continued frustration with how the bottom section of the heart block is turning out. Sometimes it looks great, other times I'm way off.
I finished up the variegated blue embroidered top with some more scrappy strips and today's job is to get it ready for some hand quilting.
About five years ago, I was playing with my green scraps and made this mini quilt that hangs on our dining room wall. It was fun to create the background with such a variety of greens from Spring green to very dark, and then add the vine and flowers.
My lilies of the valley are blooming! That is always a treat to see, especially since they are in a part of our yard that I have to specifically go out and check to see what's happening.
I've shared before that we enjoy playing cribbage at our house. Mike taught me when we first met, then we taught our kids, and for many years now we've played a daily game of cribbage while we eat dinner.
I've been working on some more Glowing Hearts for the QAL at mmmquilts. I left off last week with four hearts made - two that are dark to light, and two that are light to dark.
