All of the purples remind me of the spring rains. Then there are all of the flowers that are springing up everywhere. The mortar board is for 2 of my grandchildren who graduated from High School.

Sunbonnet Sue is out in her garden, looking at all the flowers, buds and vines starting to grow. WATCH OUT for that tulip Sunbonnet Sue!!!!

I've put some May flowers along with the little girl for May Day. Also Memorial Day which is also my Birthday weekend.

I embroidered the block with things I see in May. Except for the paisley! I did that just because you had one on your block. I think I got a little carried away with the colors on it, but my granddaughter thought it was "cool", and that is good enough for me.

April showers brings May flowers and of course in May we have Mother's Day, which is symblolized in this block by the heart with xo's.

This block is in honor of our granddaugher, Emily, who turned 15 in May. She plays the saxaphone in the school band. She has a checkered scarf that is her favorite. She plays the electronic games of Rock Band and Guitar Hero and is very good at them. The Star fabric is a scrap from a quilt I made for her. The little spider charm is because she got bit on the leg a couple of weeks ago by a spider and had a bad reaction from it.

The colors I picked was for the many flowers coming up here. Yellow for all the sunshine I'm enjoying outside working in my gardens. The little white tassel is for my dear husband, who graduated with a dual Masters Degree this month. So proud of him.

All my favorite colours are in this block. The middle patch I cut from a robe I wore when my son was born 35 years ago for me its a happy memory block for sure.
