Previously, I posted a video of a snail who was “moving mountains” at his own pace.
This little snail inspired me to thread sketch a snail.

Since my grandson loves snails, I was originally going to turn this sketch into a block for a quilt that is in progress. I had placed the snail in one of my containers for later use.
This week, I made my grandson a spring basket that I embellished with snail buttons.

As I sewed on the snail buttons, I was thinking of a special time I had with my grandson.
That day, we spent a lot of time outside, looking for snails.
He loved telling me all about snails as we were enjoying the site of snails in his yard.
So, I decided to commemorate this special moment in my quilt journal.
This Friday’s block is called Moving Mountains.
