April/May Block of The Month

I still feel so far behind! I had time to work on two blocks this weekend. This first one is the April Block of the month - it is called Silver Lane.
This one is called Four Crowns. I really like this one. I love this blanket and can't wait for it to be completed.

June Block Swap

I am finally getting back on track!!! Yeah me. I had time to get these blocks done before I go out of town this weekend. This block is called Liz's Lucky Star and I got this from my Fons & Porter Patriotic quilt book. I like these more than the one I made for my blanket.
I think it is really cool that you make these blocks in pairs and you will never have duplicate pairs. These blocks are going to Dana in Rimrock, AZ.
Here is the block I received. Thank you Dana :-).

My Flowers

I had to throw some pictures in of my beautiful flowers. I really wanted them to bloom before Memorial day, which didn't happen, but now they have bloomed and they are so pretty! I planted the Lily's last year and I love the colors.
Anyone that knows me knows I am lacking a green thumb, so I do well with low maintenance plants. I made my little cactus garden a few years ago and every year I add to it and cram some more plants in the pot. I don't remember this cactus ever having this many flowers.
