Happy Graduation, Larisa!
Last night I put the finishing stitches on this quilt, to give to my friend Larisa:

It is the same basic pattern as my mom's quilt. Being a 9 patch quilt is made as much sense to make a second quilt at the same time; while I was making the A-B-A patches, I could make B-A-B patches with the other half of the fabric. It was the plan to give the second one to my good friend Larisa when she finished her MBA & JD from Tulane. Congrats, Larisa! Hope the cozy quilt helps her study for the Bar exam.

Art Therapy!
My computer's harddrive crashed May 3rd, as a nasty Happy Birthday two days after Loosetooth.com's 6th. Harddrive on my five-month-old Dell computer. Things have been rought here. The computer is back up, but I'm still patching my digital environment together. Last night, I just really wanted to do something simple and direct without a lot of technology to slow me down or frustrate me.

I grab some cards and started drawing. A few hours later, I had these:


















I'm feeling a lot better. *whew* And thanks to technology that does let me share these with you.

And by the way, I finally signed up for Flickr! Check out my corner here.

May Flowers Softie
I loved the recycled theme for April's Month O' Softies. Happily, the May theme "May Flowers" could easily include more stash diving. Today I made my first three flowers (three copies of the same flower), hopefully, the first of a gardenful.
