QuiltyFriend's hydrangea bush. 
She is called Mother because she has given up so many branches to start new plants here and there in our neighborhood. 

Isn't she lovely?

She is mother to three of my own hydrangeas.

I took these photos early one morning on a visit. 

The afternoons around here promise and promise rain but late in the day, ALL the hydrangeas are drooping. 

I keep hearing the thunder, but not much comes of it.

I am up to date with Splendid Sampler. Block #32 is called The Constant Needle and was designed by Laurie Simpson. Here is my version. I really enjoy applique.
