Last weeks cushions . The large and smaller hexagon are the
same pattern. Enlarged and with out the binding.  And a mini dresden.
Went to a One Stop Shop Hop in Asheville a couple weks ago.
Bought this pattern I have been looking at for awhile This
cute dog pincushion sews up really fast. The possibilities are endless.
Anyone like strawberry shortbread? This looks almost good enough to eat.

Happy Mother's Day to all Mothers . I took a road trip to see my daughter today.
And will go visit my Mom in Assisted Living in a little while. A busy , but good day.
With an aging parent, the visits are sometimes stressful, the endless doctor visits
a hassle. But the  time I get to spend with my Mom is priceless. And should be so,
even more so when I know I am the only one who goes to see her and spend
a little time . One day this luxury will be gone. And I will wonder what
happened to keep me from visiting.

Hen Party

Yesterday was a good day sewing. I recieved a little hen in a pincushion swap.
She was lonely so I made a few more and we had a hen party.
The one in front on the left is the one I recieved.  I like them all
and hope they will all fly away to someone else's sewing room.
