Lookee what I found thrift shop/yard saling! Cool huh? The yarn is sock yarn and really soft :)

I've been busy getting some seeds planted and cleaning up around the house- still finding time to sew as much as I can.

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!

recipe

Here's my recipe for the swap :)
Maple Nut Brownies

1/2 c. butter 1 1/3 c. flour
1c. maple syrup 1/2 tsp salt
1 egg 1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp vanilla 1c. coarsely chopped walnuts or shredded coconut

Preheat oven 350 degrees. Grease 9x13" pan. Beat butter and syrup in large bowl. Add rest of ingredients and mix until well blended. Spread batter in pan. Bake 25-30 min. Cool before cutting.
Very Yummy!!

Isn't she just the cutest?! My sweet granddaughter really loved the skirt I made her. She liked it's "twirlyness" :)

This is another project I've been working on. It's crocheted with cascade 220 wool yarn and I love the bright colors! I'm about 1/2 way done with it- need to finish before it gets too warm!
I've got my quilts ready for my first quilt show. It's at the end of the month and I'm excited to be entering!

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
