Rainy day today

Here's what I worked on yesterday to celebrate May 1 and the coming of spring.

I finished the flying geese quilt with the help of several episodes of "Frasier" on the DVR, and had it on the bed by the time the Fool came home. Here, Spoot and Angus give it their furry little stamps of approval.

This is what it looked like mid-quilting, on my friend Jo's long-arm machine. It's hard to tell what the quilting looks like in these pictures, but it reminds us both of ripples on water - long flat swoops back and forth.
