Felt Adventures

This is the cutest design from The Country Loft in La Mesa, CA.  When my sister came from San Diego, she brought the pattern and I quickly went to my felt stash and whipped up this little gal.  She is cute, fun and just right for Spring.  One more thing done, YEAH!!!

Sister Party

My sister Darlene from San Diego was here for the weekend, what fun!  Look at the cute apron we made, one for each of us.  We ate at Cracker Barrel for lunch.  It was a good time.

Pillowcases

The cutest fabrics arrived and I stitched up a couple of quick pillowcases with names from Alpo to Zippy from P&B Textiles.  This fabric is just as cute as can be and so versitle.  Love the panel and alphabet fabrics.  Well it is all just so cute . . . who could resist.  I still want to make an alphabet book from the panel.  Watch for it at your quilt shop soon.

Happy Easter Morning

A beautiful bird nest with Aqua egg from a french antique store.  My aqua antique vase from a recent trip to a different antique store.  It is already claimed by one daughter.

Bella Diva provided these metal birds in just the right stage of antiquing.

My Home Goods bunnies decorate the shelf above my sink.

This cutie came from Joann's

It wouldn't be Easter without a Chocolate Bunny from Lindt.  A gift from a dear friend.

And then there are the violets, 6 plants currently, all in bloom for this beautiful Easter Day!

My fondest Easter Wishes for all of you today.

This is a wonderful Easter Morning!  The temperature is a balmy 65 at 7:30am and the flowers are blooming.  We went to a beautiful Easter Pagent this week that stirred our hearts.  The Mesa Temple Easter Pagent is attended by our family each year, it is a tradition that has gone on for 20 years.  We have an easter egg hunt while there.  The children love it.

Happy Quilting,
