Easter!

He Is Risen!

Easter

Hello! It's been awhile! I could say that I gave up blogging for Lent, but that would not be the case. No, I simply have had neither the time nor the interest in doing it since we returned to Ohio after a winter in Florida.

This long absence left me without a documentation of March highlights, a welcome April post, and a plethora of other events going on around these parts. Perhaps I can refocus on quilting and blogging now that things seem to be settling into a rhythmic routine around here.

Let's start with the two main reasons I've not been blogging: GRANDDAUGHTERS!

The very same day we got home, we unloaded then hopped back in the car to go to Columbus to see our sweeties. Oh, what delights they are!

Much time has been spent catching up with family and friends, as well.

A lunch date with nearly all the siblings and our Mom occurred early on. 

And a day with the Frienzies for a trip to Kentucky to see Lyn. She's had a rough 2025 with a couple of serious health worries.

Have no fear, friends! I have made time for quilting! The Frankfort Girls and a few extras attended a 4-day retreat at which I finished piecing Smoked Cheddar.


 I was really happy to get this completed, and now I will add this top to the massive stack of quilts needed quilted.

I continue most of all to work on Grandmother's Flower Garden. I did acquire more hexie papers, have made more paths and more flowers. And the garden continues to grow! 

How will you all be enjoying your Easter? We'll be at my sister's house for an afternoon with all our siblings, their kids and grandkids. DH and I will pick up Mom on our way. Family, food and fellowship - what a great way to spend a day.

Happy Quilting, Friends!

  1. He is Risen Indeed!
    We had our kids here for a couple of days. We kindda live 8 hours away so its not a very much occuring event. GFG looks pretty and its getting bigger. I've re-started on my Bible quilt. Was put away cuz blocks not uniform, but figured it out so back at it. Finally we can see ground and not snow and saw a robin yesterday! Heavy rain which will bring the blackflies, but at least its not snow. 🙂
