This was a simple card to make and the pattern couldn’t have been better – Jody is a quilter so spools of thread will be very familiar to her. Since I’m no longer even trying to do anything fancy for quilting this one was super easy.

I used the very smallest bits of my Kaffe Fassett fabric for these cards. Does it make sense that just as I’ve used up my stash I’m going to be looking to buy more on our June trip?
I used the freezer paper technique for these paper-pieced cards. I was able to get all four sections of the card done with one piece of freezer paper. It wasn’t until I was finished the first one that I realized the picture I had been looking at and the pattern I was using were completely different. In my own defense they were similar.
Christy, Kathryn and Elizabeth are all fantastic mothers and they deserve to be celebrated.

Ken’s birthday reminds me of seeding time on the farm as well as the Elrose High School Grad. I’m sure on more than one occasion Ken’s birthday has coincided with one or both of those events. This year he will be sharing his birthday with Mother’s Day celebrations.
If I’m trying to find a link between the card and Ken I guess I can say that Ken is a man of few words and will always get to the point in a conversation.
It turns out that April showers (the Umbrella last month) DO bring May flowers.
This was a quick project but it needed to be if it was going to arrive on time. I was able to dip into my colour-coordinated bins of squares so I didn’t need to do much cutting. Aside from a few mis-steps attaching the stems it could easily have been done in a day.
The quilting isn’t fancy but adequate. I want to work more on getting the backgrounds (in this case the sky) in the same tone but not all the same fabric. There is always something to work on.
