Spring Has Sprung

They are predicting rain possibly next thursday - I wish! However, spring has sprung here. I have spyria, geraniums, Lady Banks roses, Cecil Brunner roses, bouganvilla, irises, and cosmos blooming along with my peach tree and orange trees. In fact the annual garden show which is in 3 weeks is worrying about there being enough in bloom for entries in the show. But for now I am enjoying the sight.

Flimsie Done

I got up this morning and instead of computer time right away, I went into my sewing room after breakfast and completed this:

I went through a box my friend, Torre, gave to the Sewdality, and I found that panel.  Further searching in the box resulted in the two border fabrics.  That light area on top left of the inner border is not fading but the skylight showing through.  The outermost border is from my stash so half yard used - woohoo!  I need to take a photography class.  This is done outside, but the colors aren't very true.  The blue border has a little yellow and pink flower in it.  Ah, well.  The manual is online and I have trouble reading it online. No Kindle for me.   This was going to be finished as a lap quilt for a surgery rehap patient St. Ann's is going to gift, however after hearing the news of the earthquake in Japan, we most likely will send to Sendai (our sister city) in Japan that was close to epicenter of that 8.9 disaster.  Prayers for all.

Design Wall Monday 3/7/11

Yes!  Have all 48 siggie blocks done and ready to be signed by my fellow students on the 12th when our class meets again.  Here are samples of the 8 sets laid out in a design - they probably won't stay this way, I'll see.  They are going to sign on the white part.

What's on your design wall?  I'd love to see it.  You can check out Judy's list at her blog.  Just go over to my left sidebar and click on the Patchwork Times button.  Have fun!
