Hello.

We are experiences the wild temperature flotations that seem be a part of spring  around here.   One day we got 8″ of snow and two days later it was 60 degrees.      I am happy to say that my Lenten Roses are blooming now too.

 

 

 

  I had a Pixie meeting yesterday and the Social Art Group had  its end of the year art show.

This painting is by Linda C.

 

 

This necklaces is by Judy Mc

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This pastel is by Barbara Vural.

 

 

  I showed this Tide Pool work for my entry.   It was a good show and well received.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I also sold two quilts this week.   Jeanne   V purchased Barbara Blocks   2.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And Rena purchased  Totems.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Progress Report:  BV Block quilt is now done.   It is 50″ w X  58″ l.    This is the second of the SAQA 100 day Challenge projects.     I am quite pleased with how it came out.    I did get a little carried away with it and due to its size I can not take a flat photo of it.  I will  have to take it with me to the Schweinfurth  next week end and sneak a shot if it sometime during the retreat.

 

 

 

 

Art Blocks    This is the third of the SAQA 100 day challenge projects.   This photo is of the lay out using all three sized blocks.   It is all assembled now and pin basted for quilting.

 

 

 

Ethel 4  I am still slowly quilting away on this project.  I did put    Ethel # 3 in the mail this morning.   It is going to her grandson.

 

 

QSDS 100 Day project # 4    I had extra time yesterday and so I drew out and cut the pattern for the fourth design.  I put the pieces together too.  I was planning on cutting the rectangle off at about 6″ down from the top  and then inverting it and re attaching it to the bottom.   I am not sure that is the way to go at this point.   I think I need to just let it set and make a few more blocks before I decide  on that action.

Coral Shores    This work movies forward slowly.   I like how it is going however.

 

 

 

Pixie Pieces    I believe I am ready to cut the pieces again and re assemble them.   I’ll wait for quiet day to do that.

 

 

 

Fragments- Purple and Blue   This is one more piece from the Fragments class and I have only spent a couple of hours adding hand work to it.  I will keep building for a while.

This week seemed to fly by.   I hope you are enjoying spring.
