I'm off to a Cinco de Mayo Blooming 9-Patch Party. I will catch up with all of the RSC Quilters tonight or tomorrow. Go on ahead and see what Transition Week has meant to the others.
Until next time...
Get Scrappy!!!

ReplyDeleteI love that you paint your nails the scrap color of the month!!!! So much fun! Your flowers are beautiful.
ReplyDeletePart of my brain is screaming 'What do you mean it's May already?!?' and the other part is going 'Oh, goody, May means spring and flowers, tra-la!' Time seems to just whoosh by...
ReplyDeleteGlad you got some quilt group time, even if there aren't any pictures!
I'll be interested in seeing your Cinco de Mayo Blooming 9-Patch take shape. My DD2 went to a Cinco de Pie-O party yesterday.
ReplyDeletelove those iris! and your pink nails, and am very interested in where you are going with that fabric pull.
