I received some lovely mail the pass couple of days. First was this sweet doll quilt from my partner Emily for the Mellow Yellow theme. And the added packet of sunflower seeds actually were very touching as my Dad's B'day is coming up and he loved to plant these.
This lovely kitchen set arrived from my partner in the Friends Swap. Just lovely and special as this little group disbanded with this last swap - makes it extra special to have recieved such pretties.
And a dear blogging friend sensed there was something amiss at Quilt Lane and sent me a sweet package to cheer me up. I have so admired her dishclothes and then she started to make the swirly scrubbies - now I have some. Candy is always a comfort. There was some gum, but that went right into the purse. Yeah I am a gum chewer - NO a gum snapper, which drives people nuts. I have to chew gum when I am in a car (driving or riding) to help with head pressure.
A few know that I have been caring for my Mom who had some minor surgery. And those who have done caregiving, know that we forget to care for ourselves. So I wasn't so careful in that respect and got a little run down - but popping back.
So I haven't done a lot of sewing, but I did manage to finish up my little spools. Someone mentioned they looked like bows, and my love of buttons - so I made it 'Buttons & Bows'.
Tomorrow , with the help of my SIL, we will be be getting things ready to hang out quilts for the 'Airing of the Quilts' come Saturday morning. And the shop needs a little sprucing up, too. Need to charge my camera - will take pictures.
Sewingly Yours,
Sharon

I love your addition of buttons to your spool/bows quilt. Very cute.
Good to hear that you're back at it! Love your Buttons and Bows!
Glad that you are feeling better. Hope mom is doing better also. Yes your quilt fits the title Buttons and Bows perfectly. Very pretty.
Taking care of someone is really tough on us physically and mentally, so I'm glad you're feeling better. I hope your mom is, too. Sweet buttons and bows!
Lovely mail and so glad you are getting back at it, the buttons and bows is so adorable !! Take care .
I hope your mom is continuing to recover well, Sharon. It is easy to forget yourself when you are the caregiver.
Your Friends Swap items are so nice and I LOVE those swirly scrubbies. I use my round ones all of the time.
Buttons and Bows turned out so cute!
I'm glad you are feeling better, and your mom too. I love those little spools and buttons! That would be a fun little project to hang in the quilting room--oh my so many fun ideas always roll out from your blog!
Your buttons and bows quilt is lovely, Sharon. You received some lovely gifts, too.
Fingers crossed for your mom AND YOU to get back to feeling on top of the world ASAP.

I love your Buttons and Bows quilt! You certainly got some wonderful things in the mail! Lucky lady!
All of your mail is so sweet. I'm sorry that you've had so much on your plate lately and hope that both you and your mom are feeling better. It is going to be a beautiful day.
Don't forget to take care of yourself, too. Hope your weekend was nice.
You are a very busy lady, dear.
Love the little spools piece. sometimes with I look at it I see white hearts instead of spools. Do you?
Hope you completely bounced back, it's hard to take care of you and of someone else too.
Love your Button and Bows!
