My sunflower bloomed! Here it was on Tuesday -
And then on Wednesday (yesterday) - even better!
Also this week I got some happy mail from Nancy at Grace and Peace quilting! She sent me her scraps of little penguins left over from the Ikea duvet cover and pillow cases that she's been using to back the sweet baby quilts she makes. Thank you so much, Nancy! I will have fun figuring out where to use these penguins!
School has started here, and that brings on many memories for me. LeeAnna's question of the week is about the beginning of the school year - did we look forward to it? And, yes, I always did - as a student, as a mom, and as a teacher. When I was teaching, we had just spent a good week in meetings and planning for the school year, and I was so ready for the kids to come and to get going on the year. I miss that - a little bit - but I'm too old to go back there now, lol!
Oh that magnificent sunflower! How stunning! And how sweet of Nancy to send you the fun penguin prints. I look forward to seeing them in a future quilt. Gosh Back to School time. It was always exciting for me too. I wish you a very lovely day, Diann. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteI love your sunflower and am so glad it made it to blooming stage for you! I bet your students loved having you as a teacher!
ReplyDeleteYay for the sunflower! It's so pretty. Do you let yours wither and become seeds for the birdies? You should see my formerly pretty stalk - it is fried from the summer heat but I bet it comes back next year. Love the little schoolhouse stitch!
ReplyDeleteI meant to mention, Soma over at Ink Torrents, has a darling story about little Scottish penguins, and of course I thought of you while reading it!
