Lookee at these! These are some of my first charm packs and I'm excited about starting this quilt. It'll be just a simple 4 patch with sashing- I hope it turns out well. Love the bright colors :)
It certainly has been warm here and the garden is almost planted. We should finish Sat. Plus we're getting piggies that day too. Summer is very busy around here, so I don't get to sew quite as much as I'd like. How about you all? Anybody else gardening? how about container gardening?
Have a good day:)

Another gnome sighting!

gnome sweet gnome
I love my gnomes :) You never know when one will turn up! They remind me of my Dad ( who passed away last year), who would always encourage us to "look" for them whenever we went on hikes together. This one is my favorite because he had a basket carrier, and I can change what's in it for different seasons or occasions. Right now he's carrying yarn and some "knitting needles" for me. He's a handy fellow :)

Spring
I love white on whites! This is our cherry tree and the blooms are beautiful. It reminds me of white on white fabric- so clean looking :) We've been having our share of rain storms- perfect days for sewing and blogging (hee,hee)! Maybe someone should design a fabric like these blossoms? I feel another quilt idea coming on :D

wonky blocks
This is my first try at wonky piecing and I love it! Black and white are not usually my thing, but I was trying to use my stash. All the blocks were made from fat quarters I had and the white on white I had too. I did have to buy the fabric for the borders and backing. I'm slowly using my stash, but it sure is hard to not buy new...
I hope everyone had a great Mother's Day- I certainly did!

May Day
Went yard saling today and then hit the May day sale at our local fabric shop. I was looking for some fabric for the border and backing for a quilt I'm working on, but didn't find any I liked. Not that I came away empty-handed :) I did find some for sashing for a different quilt and some cute FQ for some tote bags. Tired now...zzz
