May 2026 monthly recap...........................


There was one finish early in the month of May.  I used strips that were cut many years ago to make the Double 4 Patch blocks and many orphan blocks in brown/beige/gold joined them for a nice throw quilt.  It is 63" x 70".







I completed 2 quilt tops in May.  The Kaffe Medallion has been a slow project for several months, and when I finally decided it didn't want any more borders, it was done.  It is a wall hanging and measures 48" x 53".  When I get to the edge finish, I'm planning on doing a facing instead of binding.  The small still life top is not in proportion to the Kaffe top.  It is only 1/4 as tall as the medallion top but I left it larger for this collage.  It's only 10" x 13".


So what else did I do in May?  I had company staying with me for 8 days and then planted my tomato plants, 3 to the raised bed and 5 in pots.



I also planted all of my new porch pots.  They are starting to fill out.  I think I lost at least one little Begonia on the bottom shelf so I might be out looking for a new one or two.

I also wrote a 4 part tutorial for Trip Around the World.  During the time I was composing that I got steroid shots in my SI joints and am finally getting relief from my pain that started 10 months ago.  I'm just hoping that the relief lasts a long time.

And lastly, I knitted three dishcloths, the best stress reliever, the most calming thing I do all month.
