Our daughter double masked and hand sanitized her way from Phoenix to northern Indiana for a two week stay. It was wonderful to have her here. She waited to visit until both the farmer and I were vaccinated. Thankfully neither one of us had any side effects from the vaccine.
I decided to take a vacation/break from hand quilting and just enjoy our time together. I also read a couple books, sewed binding on quilts, pieced some easy crib quilts and embroidered quilt labels. I've actually got the label ready for blue stars around the garden but no picture.
After a week of no hand quilting, I started again and made a little progress.The center is slow going. I still need to stitch in the ditch around the leaves and stem on the right side of the big flower. And I need to get the stencil out and mark the space where I missed a line.
I also worked outside in the flowerbeds and the yard. The older grandson was on spring break so he got to spend time picking up sticks.
The crocuses are blooming, they're so bright and happy.
I wasn't home when the farmer put the cows out on pasture so no pictures of the celebration. They enjoyed a lazy sunny Easter afternoon on the grass. The grass isn't very long, we're rather dry.
