"IT MIGHT AS WELL BE SPRING"

                           "I'M AS RESTLESS AS A WILLOW IN A WINDSTORM,
                                      I'M AS JUMPY AS A PUPPET ON A STRING....

                                    I HAVEN'T SEEN A CROCUS OR A ROSEBUD
                                                  OR A ROBIN ON THE WING...".....

Pansy update--just plunked up on my wall --waiting for Spring...working slowly on these
trying to pull fabrics that won't look different....

See this mess:

A pile of greens, purples and a few bright yellows and maroons...

the yellow ones ended up in itty-bitty blocks

I don't know if they will be incorporated in with the bigger ones or not yet....but I love their
Spring-like cheeriness...

enough with the snow and cold...it is raw and windy here AGAIN....especially in our
supermarket parking lot!!

"BUT I FEEL SO GAY, IN A MELANCHOLY WAY,
THAT IT MIGHT AS WELL BE SPRING..."

SUNDAY LOST AND FOUND

                                                             PANSY GARDEN

Looking through my UFO's I found this project I had started a few years ago --
it was folded INSIDE of another UFO..all the muslin bases were cut and so....

I sewed this block today:

It does look very different than the other two--many of the fabrics I had used are gone...
into THAT SEWING LAND OF NEVERMORE.....

.so, I will begin to incorporate different greens, purples and will add some yellow and maroon pansies, too..

the first block is very plain with a bit of
sky peeping through on the top left--but
I think I can add embroidery and
beading and some free form darker leaves.








This block:

on the other hand, is SO totally different--much darker--that I am now
thinking that I was just trying out different combinations of fabrics -- I
wish I had left myself some notes....quelle dommage!!
but, we'll see where this goes...
I just love pansies--they are so rich and velvet-looking...harbingers of
S P R I N G....
