Design Wall Monday - April 21, 2025



Good morning Quilters!

Happy Easter!    

This week has been busy with family and church activities, so quilting has taken a back seat for me.

All I have to show you is a little progress on my redwork Christmas alphabet quilt project.  Here are two completed blocks and a third in progress:

C for Candy Canes



H for Holly Berries



And the one I’m working on now….B for Bells


As I said before, it was a slow week, quilting wise.  As for humor, there was an abundance of that with me, as usual.  Here is one example.  

Every Easter I make a lamb cake,  using a mold in the shape of a lamb.  I decorate it with white frosting, coconut, jelly beans for eyes, and usually a necklace.  A grandson helped me dye coconut green for grass, and we spread jelly bean eggs in the grass around the lamb.  This year’s lamb was listing a little bit to the left, but seemed to be stable when we finished.  Our son took a picture:


Well, about a half hour before dinner, my son laughed and told me that the lamb’s head had fallen off!  The Grandkids thought it was very funny, and the Great Grandson was only 2 and took no notice of the tradegy.  Here is the lamb before we served him as dessert:

Happy Easter cake was enjoyed by all.  What is happening in your life this week?  Please join our Design Wall Monday Linky Party below and tell us what you are doing.  I am so happy you all participate and we get a peek into your lives.  Thank you.
