Wednesday again? Already? It feels like this past week has flown by! If you still haven't left a link on the Manic Monday Linky Party, you can do so now!
I keep seeing Mother's Day stuff all over the blogosphere, which always makes me feel guilty. I live in the UK, and Mothering Sunday is NOT the same date as in the US. So what I've always done is buy and post a card for my mother when they're available here. Pathetic, I know.
But this year, I'm hoping to do better! I got her quilt posted out a couple of weeks ago, and although I don't actually know whether she got it yet, I don't think she'll see this post. So I thought I'd share it!
It's the Snapdragon Quilt from the Two from One Jelly Roll Quilts Book I have. I used the Martinique line from Moda, and if you're in the UK and want to make one small jelly roll quilt without buying all 40 strips, I totally recommend Fabrics Plus!
And, to keep the generational theme going, I've got a cute picture of Savi being totally reckless and fearless:

I had to smile when I read your first paragraph. I understand completely, as I no longer live in the US, and so I also buy a 'Mothering Sunday' card in some time in March and then hold on to it until it rolls around to when it's celebrated in the US. I usually also send her a wee gift, like a handmade plaque and/or some recent photos.
