Not much going on around here that's blog worthy. As you can see, I couldn't even come up with a clever title for this post.
I have been working on labels to stitch to the backs of my quilts that I'll enter in the Birmingham Quilters Guild's quilt show next month. Then I have to stitch covers over the labels so they can't be seen by the judges. It all sounds sort of like make-work to me; but then again, I know our show chairman has good reason for every one of our guidelines.
I have managed a wee bit of planting so far this spring, but not much. As hard as it has become for me to walk inside, it about ten times that hard to walk outside.
In addition to these impatiens (the Creeping Ginny is left over from last year), I have a couple of Better Boy tomato plants in a pot in the backyard. So far, they seem to be thriving. My daddy always grew the biggest and most delicious tomatoes; I think he grew Better Boys, but I could be wrong.
I'm going back to making quilt labels now. I hand printed the ones I made yesterday; today I'm going to try embroidering them on my Bernina.
Fun Fact: Kermit the Frog is 58 years old today. Happy Birthday, Kermie.

Love your quilt labels and applaud your bravery in machine embroidering them!
In our guild quilt shows in TX, the identifying information was on the hanging sleeves so could not be seen once the quilts were hung. After the judging was over, a label listing the quiltmaker's name, the quilt's name, and some information about there quilt was pinned beside each quilt.
Is there an update on Libby's condition? My get well card is in the mailbox awaiting pick-up.
Happy Birthday, Kermit! I hope it is easier being green these days.
Hope you feel lots better soon!
Hugs!
