Another month has flown by and we are now in April. In talking with my Gram (before she passed in her 90’s) I mentioned how fast the time passes now that I was getting older. She had a great reason, which made so much sense.
She said when you are 5 years old it takes forever to get to your birthday, since you are reflecting back on 1/5th of your life. When you are 40 they seem to come much quicker, since you are reflecting back on 1/40th of your life. At that point, I couldn’t imagine how fast they must seem to go by for her at 85, reflecting on 1/85th of her life.
Here is my Gram, loved her and miss her every day.
April brings Easter, my 28th Wedding Anniversary and a much needed sunny vacation. In that mix, I’m going to add another quilt to start and finish.
Again I bought a layer cake and then not remembering (that forgetfulness that sneaks up on me) bought a Frivoli box in The Cookie Exchange by Moda.
Well at least I’ll be early for the holidays after I accomplish this goal. My April OMG is to complete this holiday quilt. Need to decide on a pattern and get busy.

Well I see buying the same fabric twice as a sign that you must really like the fabric. Good luck!!!
Don’t you love it when you buy fabric and forget that you bought it already. That’s how stash happens, so I tell my husband. You and I both celebrate April Wedding Anniversaries, mine will be 43 years and that’s why my stash is big.
Holiday quilts are fun. Thanks for linking up with Elm Street Quilts One Monthly Goal and good luck on your project.
I miss my grandmother too! Good luck completing your goas this month!
Grandmothers are the wisest of all!
Cute fabric. And it should make a great quilt.
Love Quilt #10
HA – I have totally done that myself. Two jelly rolls – one in October, one in January. I guess I really like it! It will be fun to see what you make . . . ~smile~

Your Grandmother sounds like she was such a wise woman! I never looked at time the way she did! I can definitely relate to your purchases! How many times have I bought the same fabric over and over again? LOL! 🙂 I’m eager to see what you use the layer cake with….I have a few laying around calling out to fulfill their purpose. 🙂
What a sweet picture of your Gram! I have done the forgetful thing with buying fabrics too. Those are such cute fabrics, I can’t wait to see what you make! Thanks for linking up to To-Do Tuesday this week. 🙂
Time is passing quickly. My grandmother taught me to sew when I was 11 yrs old. Thanks for sharing about your grandmother.
Happy Anniversary! Have fun on your new project! I have one of those Frivols kits, but haven’t started it yet.
I’ve done that myself….it’s always fun to find the same fabrics in my stash! 🙂
