I've made 5 t-shirt quilts now. Not a one is perfect. When I was a little girl I had a crazy quilt my grandma Parris had made and I loved how not perfect it was. I mean super geometric quilts are beautiful but there is something special about a quilt that is put together a bit haphazardly. At least, I like to think so. I made this quilt for Grace this time. She asked for a toddler sized one, so it's a bit shorter than my others. I'm hoping to give it to her as a baby shower gift at the end of the summer. It was my week#2 project. After getting out the sewing machine out, I was able to get a bunch of mending done as well. I finished my first week of summer school and had a bunch of doctors appointments leading up to my surgery next week. Oh, and we are surviving living with 5 cats!
I had a couple blasts from the past this past week with bump intos from my Spring Harbor days. I saw a favorite student fo mine at the mall while shopping for sandals and a fellow specials teacher at the Farmer's Market who had been the PE teacher for all 3 of the girls. I love that the girls all had teachers I worked with throughout middle and high school. It makes for happier connections. Monika also took me to my first SummerFest in Milwaukee. I've wanted to go for years and I finally made it to see Tegan & Sara. It was a late night but a special one. We also made it to the Overture for a concert, so it's been a fun first summer week in Madison. I went to the pool almost everyday.
