Signs of Spring


Well, although it was 11 degrees below normal yesterday - I'm finding signs of spring in the garden.

UFO #4

I haven't been organizing cuz I've been quilting, but I will get back to it soon. Here's ufo #4 - another charity quilt which will go to another preemie who will be home soon.

Have started on ufo #5 and it's a biggy.

Got a Ribbon

I entered a quilt in the Hemet Valley Quilter's Show last month Feb 12-13th. And surprise - I won a ribbon! My Oriental Spring won a 2nd place in Small Wall Hangings - Mixed.

The cherry blossoms are hand appliqued and the quilt is hand quilted. It measures 22 by 30.
