HYACINTHS emerging...
Daffodils coming up....
these are those little short tulips (forget what they are..) poking up through my Blue rug Junipers that are spreading like crazy...
finally, my hydrangea is budding out..a bit, too....
too early for my lilies or mums and even my iris is slow...
It has been so windswept and cold here...
I am hoping this rain will push things along....
We are in need of some warmth and sunshine...
On the quilt scene: I have finished the 12 Dresdens and tried putting them up on the backing I had chosen--
N O T gonna happen,
that tan color just makes them die...so, I am looking for a fabric that will make them shine...not so easy with these muted colors on white....
I pulled a reddish, cranberry one, but I think it will overpower them...
And so, this project has come to a screeching halt;
I will have to take bits of all the fabrics with me to my fabric place
and see what I can find....I don't even like the centers I had chosen..
I find that this seems to happen to me all the time....does it to you???
In the meanwhile, I began my 2nd surprise gift lap quilt as a leader ender to
the Star Rise {which has moved to the first place from leader-ender ;)))} ...
and more on this subject.....
My friend Dawn sent me a whole BOX of deep, rich blues to
enchance my paltry stash...thank you Dawn, that was so sweet and generous...
can't wait to incorporate them...I am petting them now...;)))
My grandson just left JFK on his European trip with his High School Jazz Band
this afternoon; I will admit that I am a bit nervous about it all,
fingers crossed all will go well for them...our world is an unsettling
place these days....
