Mother May I

My son used this phrase the other day "Mother May I" and instantly we both remembered playing this game when they were all kids - especially at Birthday Parties. You ask 'mother' if you may (ex.) take 3 giant steps forwards and she can say 'yes, you may' or say 'no, you may not' or change it to 'no, but you may take 3 baby steps'. I always ended with 'NO, but you may all have a piece of birthday cake'

Aren't these the coolest pinwheels? I love them. They are part of Tonya's May for Me quilt along project. I had all the pieces laid out today and this is going to be so pretty when done. I think it is going to make a great gift for a friend of mine.

I joined the Australian 6 1/2" block swap and I got my first blocks in the mail today. From Susan (Australia) and they are the Calico Spool block from Quilters Cache - a wonderful site full of patterns. The top blocks are from Sue and I decided to make two myself - the bottom blocks. By receiving two and making two each month, I should have a lovely set of blocks for a sweet quilt.

A sneak peak at my next project for the Moda Monthy Challenge - home decor. I'm using Arnold's Attic and muslin - will hand quilt for a lovely vintage piece. I have it ready for the hand quilting, just trying to decide on what I will do??

I would like to take the opportunity to personally Thank You all for leaving a comment on my quest post on Stash Manicure. Also, the lovely comments on the Color Me posting here - I enjoyed matching all your colors with you. You make me strong as a blogger and a quilter and I enjoy sharing the journey with you. Some are stressing over not meeting May for Me goals - they shouldn't be goals but tips, ideas, shared moments and maybe they will fit in somewhere in due time.

Mother May I

"Mother May I" a childhood game,But mother may I remain the same?
"Mother May I" come to you?Trust your heart or be torn in two.
"Mother May I" take your hand?Hold it strong like a rubber band.
"Mother May I" hold you close?Cheek to cheek and nose to nose.
"Mother May I" a childhood game,But mother may YOU remain the same?
-anon-

Sewingly Yours,
