Bloomers (my size) and thinking ahead!!!

I spent last night at my mother's assisted living facility while she is recovering from a medical procedure.  The scary thing is I fit right in and was welcomed as a new resident... Home for a bit today and will go back..  Did get a lot of stitching done.

Here's the progress on June's CQJP project.  The stuffing in her bloomers needs a little fine tuning but she's there to stay and will work on her flower garden now... Somehow I ended up with very little seam anywhere for fancy stitching...

Thinking ahead.... I mention I wanted to repeat some of my favorite motifs..  Well I also want to redo some BETTER...  One is a flower/garden cart.  I have done several over the years on RR blocks but none I was overjoyed with so I want to try again with a different approach.   I decided that I might build my cart with lace this time..  The more I thought about it the more I liked the idea.. I eventually want to do one block with a garden bench and may build it with lace also.. So many of the larger laces have such gorgeous structural elements.
