Scrappy Tulips On String Blocks, Cute Photo

Flowers for spring...appliqued on strings. 

And this cute photo...mothers in nature are the fiercest!  Precious photos.
Mother's Love

Happy Mother's Day to all celebrating! There is no doubt becoming a mother is one of the great enterprises of life.  And if all works out, a lifelong journey at that.

Wearing his summer coat, here is the rabbit we think overwintered in the backyard. We see this fellow sometimes on the trail closest to the house.  I took this photo from a great distance and you can see he is lifting his nose and getting a smell-perhaps me. He immediately turned and hopped away.
And here is little chipmunk, the only one around this spring. I was happy to watch him popping in and out of the wood stick home I piled up over two autumns. I knew it was being used as I saw various tiny tracks in the snow sometimes throughout the winter.

When I return from my Mother's Day outing, I hope to continue appliqueing flowers onto the string blocks. The latest template, a sort of tulip for spring. On a bit of a roll and I would like to keep the momentum going.

Hope you have the momentum rolling today too.
Happily  linking with Kathy's Quilts and Viewing Nature with Eileen,.

I love the little chipmunks but only see them when we go west to the mountains, they don't live here - they sure are a pest at the campgrounds and we do not feed them but they sure are cute-- have a great day

Happy Mother's Day. There is a lot of "mothering" happening in my yard. Nests of Blue Birds, a Cardinal, Cat Birds, frogs and toads.

Lovely photo, legs below and all huddled up in Mum's feathers. Yes, so many of us have lost our Mums, and equally, so many who want to be a Mum are not. Wet and windy here, fire lit, and coffee made at 6 a.m.

Love the tulips on the string blocks. I've got to make a tulip quilt because seeing them always makes me happy.
