Spring IS Here

 It is 82º here today. My spring flowers are all up . I hope they don't get their noses frozen as it is not unusual to have a snowstorm in April. The state basketball tourneys are this week and we always have snow.
 I am trying to clean up my messes before I go for my surgery. This afternoon I cut up a bunch of denim for quilts. Also worked on my signature blocks- just have to sign and heat set them. Now I am going out and sit in the sun. Hope you are having good weather also. BB
  In case I don't get back on I wish you all a Happy St. Patricks Day

Robins Are Back

 The robins are back- does that mean spring is here?? We have this ugly pine tree in our yard that has green berries on it and when the birds come back in the spring they feast in it. I tried to get a picture of them in the tree but they flew away. It is 58º here- almost unheard of in March for SD.

  Also I finished block #3 in my BOM so will show that- I wish I had made it with Christmas fabric but maybe will get that done later. I am having a knee replaced in a couple weeks so am practising  running my machine with my left foot- don't know that is going to work.

wall hanging

I made this quite a while ago but wanted to show you a way to use your cut-offs when you fold the fabric and trim like in some flying geese blocks. I really do love quilts and have this in my sewing room

Snow.

Winter finally got here but the temp. is above freezing. Don't think I ever saw such large snowflakes- they looked like golf balls. We ended up with a little over 4 in. but it is raining . I did get some sewing done.

Time for the green!!

Getting an early start on St. Patricks day since I am Irish. : ) This is a Pieced tree pattern. Great Day here in South Dakota again. Haven't had much snow all winter. My Christmas cactus is blooming again. Hope you all are having a great day

Happy Valentines Day

Forgot to wish everyone a Happy Valentines Day. Hope you all have a great day.

Birdie Blocks

Finally finished my birdie blocks and have them partially sewn together. Still have to figure out a border or borders. Have also been sewing on the row robins for the COF retreat in Sept. but can't show them. We are making table toppers or runners for our March Quilt Guild meeting anf I pulled the fabric from my stash but haven't started cutting yet. Seems like I am always behind- maybe its because I don't stay home. : 0 -until next time. Happy Sewing
