What I’ve Been Doing
Yesterday was gorgeous! Who could believe temps in the 70’s in late February? After my walk, I stayed outside for a couple of hours pulling weeds; it was just too nice to be inside. If only the grass in my lawn was as lush as in my flower beds! The snowdrops that I planted last fall are blooming – so pretty!
These ones were growing in Wales on the grounds of Manorbier Castle and inspired me to try planting some here. In comparison, mine are pretty scraggly, but I hope they will thrive and multiply to become a yearly reminder of that fantastic trip.
Working at a very leisurely pace for me, I have finished The Merchant’s House, blocked and trimmed it, and it awaits binding. But now there is no rush. I’ll post it when it is finished.
There are two more deadlines soon, but they are both for small works. Yesterday I made the sketch and working pattern for the SAQA 12″ square. Last year I made that fairy quilt for them – “Don’t Piss Off The Fairies” – this year I’m doing another bird quilt. I’ve been wanting to do a Yellow Headed Blackbird and now’s the time!

Looks like you are taking time to smell the flowers!! It’s warm enough here to pull weeds, but not really clean out the flower beds… more cold coming.
We were without power for 11 days with the ice storm earlier this month. Missed looking to see if you had blogged.
