SPRING HAS SPRUNG A LEAK!

It is officially spring and the flowers are popping up all around.  There is a beautiful tulip tree in my neighbor's yard that goes from twigs, to pink tulips, to leaves....very strange but pretty every spring.  It is really raining today but I took  these photos yesterday before it started.  What a beautiful day.....raining and creating!!

STARTING A NEW KAFFE FASSETT QUILT

I am starting a new Kaffe Fasset quilt that will hang in the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show in July.  It is a beautiful little town in Oregon that has the most gorgeous Sisters Mountains covered in snow even in July!  They hang quilts all over town and have been doing it for 35 years!  The fun always is to see if mine gets hung on the main street and they usually do!

VALENTINES DAY FLOWERS

My husband is the nicest guy!  He remembers all holidays and if he is going to be busy, he takes care of it early.  These are the flowers he gave me today and a beautiful card also.  Think I'll keep him (after forty years, I'd better)!

CUTE HANDMADE QUILT WITH FLEECE

I made this cute baby quilt to put on my Etsy site.  It is so soft and cozy!  It is not really a baby quilt it is a PEOPLE quilt!

ALMOST FINISHED!

I made this cute quilt out of Heather Bailey's Pop Garden fabrics that I truly love.  She has the best fabrics!  Such vibrant colors and it is a joy to work on inspiring fabric.  Here I am machine quilting the quilt.  Then I will hand bind it and put it on my Etsy site.

CUTE LITTLE LILY WEARING MY NEW CREATION

This is a little hat I made using Joanna's hat pattern from Fig Tree Quilts .  It is actually too small for darling Lily but she looked so cute I decided I would keep this picture.  I often have to entice her and her sisters to model something, usually, however, the item is too small.  Isn't she cute!?  This will be put on my Etsy site before too long.

MY NEW PIN CUSHION

Here is a darling pin cushion my daughter made me for Christmas!  I should have shown you before this, but I was so busy using it that I forgot!  This was from my daughter that says she can't make anything.  Pretty nice, huh?  I love it but I have a hard time finding it because it just looks so much like a decoration that I secretly don't want to stab it with pins!

STILL RAINING

Well, it is still raining to one degree or another almost every day.  This means everything will be green!  My husband, the perpetual gardener, has replanted all flowers out front where the frost had killed our plants.  It already looks like spring!  I bought some stocks for him to plant as well but I could not bear to part with them for a day or two.  They fit perfectly in this woven rectangle basket so I decided to put them on the coffee table.  They let loose with a floral perfume and the house smelled great!  I had to take a picture as I knew shortly they would be gone.
