Gardening, Quilting, and a few more things

With all the posts I have this month set to be quilt alongs, Stashbusters, Safelight project, and more, Sundays are the only time to catch up on everything else. Go get another cuppa (of whatever your cup contains in the morning) and settle in for a long, chatty and picture heavy post. This warm weather …

Gardening, Quilting and Painting Fun

It's been a busy week, with something going on every day. It hasn't left a lot of time for sewing on my own projects, but I have made good progress on a free quilt along I've designed just for you coming in March for National Quilting Month - more on that below. I also took …

April in the Garden

Finally, we have some warmer days!  It seems like winter just keeps hanging on, but Friday was warm and sunny, and Saturday was perfect for a drive.  It is supposed to rain all day today, so I am glad I got some pictures of the garden.  Flowers are starting to show their colors a bit …
