Once upon a time, it was hard for me to narrow down my options to 9 pictures for the collage because there were too many quilts to report on and document. Since two darling granddaughters have entered our lives, I can barely locate quilt pictures for the collage.
Such is life, and isn't it grand!?
April offered up lots of opportunities to love on Cate and Reagan, plus it was a memorable month for some milestone reasons.
TOP ROW: The first pic is my joyful reunion with the babies after having spent three months in Florida. Even after a long drive home, it was no trouble at all to go another hour to Columbus to see these two. Next is Emma's family. She took a position with the same company at a new location which shortens her commute significantly. The folks at her previous place had a little party for her. Last, I'm entering the home stretch on hexie flowers for my Grandmother's Flower Garden quilt; I have just a few more to make.
MIDDLE ROW: A quilt retreat gave me the time needed to finish a flimsy. This was supposed to get done in Florida, but I just couldn't stay on task. The middle picture is from Easter. My mom, Cate's Great- Grandma Jeannie, admires the bounty from Cate's Easter egg hunt. And, there is sweet Reagan getting some loves from Pappaw Kevin.
BOTTOM ROW: Erin's family had a milestone, too, when they purchased a new home. Here they are pictured on the front porch step. Move-in will be late May or early June. Sweet Reagan is all smiles, sitting on her newly-delivered quilt. Last, my scrappy Kaffe Fasett 4-patch quilt top is finished and ready for either borders or quilting or both.
An additional milestone this month involves our son Adam. He's moved back to Ohio and after staying here for a couple of days, he's settled in with his Aunt Kellie to assist her as she recovers from some recent surgeries. I've not been up to visit them yet, but DH has and it seems to be working well.
