May's Postcard of the Month
Nice weather for geese!

I always get a kick seeing my friend Linda's geese (and other fowl)

when I visit her wonderful garden center* in early May

to get veggies and herbs to plant in my garden.

Oh boy, this month's postcard process was a challenge!

I am operating in a MUCH smaller space,

with many of my tools and materials not handily accessible. 

But - albeit 2 weeks late - I did it!

I warmed up by making this little quilt collage:

for my nephew and his fiancee for their baby shower - a facsimile of the real thing,

which I'm planning to have done by the baby's due date - July 2nd.

So then I got down to it with May's design.

Prototype throw-downs:

I liked the sort of gridded patchwork of the quilt design, so that fed into some of the composition:
