"He maketh me to lie down in green pastures... "  

Psalm 23: 2

Icing on the cake...

Pillow back......

thrifted shirt

Loving it !

Used one of my old shirts for the border

and a pair of old jeans for the cornerstones.

Let's see I started this when my girls were young....

Finished it when my grandchildren are young...

I.am.slow!

but you know....Slow is sometimes better than fast.

The fabric I would have picked for the border  20 years ago

I would not have 

liked for the next 50 years ;) 

Maybe that is why it took me so long to finish.

I love this so much more.

Next up.....

Trying to finish up the borders on this bad boy.

Hard to do when you are not totally in love with it. 

Stalled because I can't seem to figure out what it needs.

Best moment of my week....
