Sweet Easter Project

Easter is coming up, can you believe it with all the snow thats being predicted for us?  I'm not ready for another storm but I don't think Mother Nature cares if we're ready or not, kinda like childbirth.

There is a nice blog called Red Brolly that has a very cute Easter project made especially for those who love to embroider.  You can look at it here .  The blog is very well done and worth taking a look around, its done by a lady named Bronwyn Hayes and I think she's from Australia.  What a great name she has.  You will enjoy looking at the project even if you don't have time to embroider it.

Another blog that I enjoy is Tall Grass Prairie Studio by Jacquie.  She has a lot of tutorials down the right side of her blog which include a fun looking Wonky Logcabin Pillow, Starry Forest Tree skirt and Pocket Change Quilt and much more.

Stay warm and happy quilting.

National Quilting Day

March 19 is officially National Quilting Day even though the month of March has been made into a quilting month.  Is there someone you can show the joy of quilting this month and pass on the traditions?  Can you get together with friends and just sew because you want to!?  Do you have an extra quilt that you can pass onto someone in need of a hug or just because you care about them?  How about finishing up a UFO or starting a project that you've looked forward to.  These are all ways to celebrate this day or month.

I know many of you sew with daughters or grandkids, how great is that.  Peg just recently sent me a photo of her granddaughter sewing on her first quilt, what a sweetheart!  (Both of them!)  It doesn't get better than that.  One of my granddaughters has a birthday this month and she told her dad to tell me that she wanted her own "sewing kit" for her birthday.  How fun will that be for me to buy...finally I'm getting her the real stuff, real scissors, needles, etc.  She likes to hand sew already and the girls fight over the Featherweight.  Quilting is a communicable disease!

There is also an official Quilting Day quilt pattern offered as a free download.  If you like log cabins you'll love this.  Its called Build Your Own Log Cabin and designed by Barbara Harrell.  Check it out.
