Sunday Puttering

I had the stroganoff over noodles for lunch. It was pretty good though the steak was dry. Next time will use smaller slices and not cook it as long.

Todays project, after laundry, was to start the deconstruction of a quilt top Mom made for me many years ago. The quilt was stuffed in a corner after much neglected, got moldy and was neglected for a few more years. It was washed many times but just stained too badly. As a depressed teen who preferred black, a peach, light blue and floral quilt was not appreciated. Never mind that it has many small pieces and must have taken quite awhile to do.







I have made a few quilts by now and fully understand the process. It is going to take me much longer to take it apart, re-plan the layout, get new matching fabric and put it all back together again. Than it would have to just help Mom with a bit of hand embroidery or at least putting it in my safely hope chest.
Looking back, at the time it was a symbol of how much my Mom just did not "get" me. To be fair, I had no clue who I was so how could anyone else?
