Wishing everyone a Blessed and Happy Easter.

First Day of Spring and St. Joseph's Feast Day

 

My friend from high school, Gale, gives me a basket of forced bulbs each winter. It's fun to watch the flowers change each day as they come alive. The hyacinths in this year's basket are already aromatic. What a treat.

Below is the basket from the day Gale gave it to me.

My sewing has been to complete small projects that have been piling up. 

One was a cover for a loose-leaf folder for the quilt club.

I used scraps from a previous project, and now
my folder looks pretty.

I also hemmed a slipcover I made last year.

It feels just a bit more like spring here. 

 I have taken quite a break from blogging, but I hope to return to posting regularly.  I didn't have the same enthusiasm in quilting that I used to have. But I have joined a quilt club, The Swansea Quilt Club, and it has helped me get over that block. Not only am I quilting and sewing again, but I have too many projects going at once, so I must be cured:) The dining room table is covered in fabric, sewing machines and notions. Can't stop now.

I made my nephew a golf quilt. It is a panel on the front and the back is pieced with golfing image fabric. 

This is a pumpkin table runner I began in 2022 and finished last autumn. 

I donated this quilt to our parish school for a fundraiser, but I wish I had kept it.  

I am definitely making another.

Moxie is fifteen. She's diabetic but is aging gracefully.

God bless everyone.  Be back soon.
