I saw Pat Sloan’s beach bucket banner and I thought it was pretty cute for summer.
I dropped everything and made one.
Since I don’t have any beach buttons in my stash, I’ll be making a little shopping trip to see if I can find any.
Then this banner will be gifted.
Mom lives about 1-1/2 hours away, so Hubby and I packed a bag and spent a couple of days at my older sister’s home.
We had plans.
Condo painting plans!
Some family members got together and made Mom’s wish a reality!
It was work, but because the family made this happen together, we had lots of fun, too.
Mom says she hasn’t heard that much laughter in quite a while!
It turned out to be a great way to spend the holiday week!
Mom took a few pics. Older Sis and her daughter are hard at work the day before we got there.
Mom had a tough time choosing colors, and decided to go bold!
For the curious, I made the wall hanging quite a few years ago. It is my interpretation of Mom’s high school graduation photo.
Sis and I taking a break out in front of Mom’s condo. We are a couple of grey heads now, hopefully wise ones. Ha!
All of the hen party blocks are not only fused, but stitched and squared up as well!
Have Fun and Quilt On!

Fun, productive getaway, and blessing for your mom!!!
