The bluebonnet quilt which my mom and I have been talking about since last Christmas and finally got a plan hatched for it this February (I had been painting in the winter months) is still in process.

The process of working on this together is really the point now. Her energy is low and most of it goes to keeping herself strong enough to go to and from dialysis sessions. Lots of naps are filling in her former work/sewing time.

So my sister and I work on the steps we can and show Mom photos of the process.

Maybe on the next trip, we can cut out the squares and pick some other fabrics.

Fingers crossed!
