I Like Thursday: Trimmings, Trails and Trials

Thursday.  The weeks have been flying by lately.  Sharing some of the good stuff with LeeAnna and friends at I Like Thursday.  

 

I made candy for Easter (as usual).  I trimmed a bunch of the dipped candies and it struck me that the pile of chocolate trimmings looks very similar to the pile of fabric trimmings.  It's important to get the pieces (whether chocolate or fabric) just right!  I got perfectly dipped little paves (the squares) and mini nests.

Beautiful!  

I returned to Roaring Brook Falls to climb up the rocks.  This rocky overhang and crevasse was pretty cool to explore.

Spent a weekend at the New England Folk Festival.  My right shoulder was (is) still bothering me, so I made up a button to go on my sore shoulder to warn other dancers I wasn't quite as mobile as usual.  Got lots of comments (and many accommodating dancers).  I had one little kid that was very concerned that I had a button that said ouch.  It was a wonderful weekend! 

 

My mother and I went to a quilt show this last weekend.  So many beautiful quilts!  Meanwhile, my quilting progress has been seriously slowed down by gardening and shoulder issues (it's ridiculous when wielding a rotary cutter is painful).  I've been cutting up the kaleidoscope squares... 

 

and assembling the mystery quilt.   It will be a wall hanging (and the extra two blocks will become a pillow).  I need to decide how to do boarders, just not as big as the original design.  But that will be put on the back burner until I finish the king quilt.

Now if only the weeds in my garden would stop growing so fast!  I think word's out that I'm nursing that shoulder.  Hmmm....
