Spring has Sprung

I went today to get my hair cut and run a few other errands.  Only needed a sweater, no coat!! So many motorcycles out and kids skate boarding  and people actually out walking.  Just had to check and make sure that I was still in Minnesota and this was March! 

I guess we all have spring fever of sorts.  I have started a few things for spring. First one done was a wool felt  candle mat.


Then I started a table runner for Easter that I found on the internet last year and did not do.  I have put all the pieces down and made the patckwork basket.  I have just started doing the satin stitch around  some pieces but have not finished. Then will have to sew on border,  but thought I would give you a sneak peek.


Of course today there was another basket block from Temecula Quilt Co.  And I just had to do that also. This makes number # 3 .  Are you keeping up? 


 I am off to enjoy some of this great weather. Live long and sew straight,martha

  I have been doing some more sewing of flying geese, the past couple of days.  I have made some progress as I have about twenty sashings total sewn now.  Here are pics of what I have finished so far. I also got back another lap quilt from the quilter and I have sewn down the binding on the front side. In the evenings I am enjoying hand sewing the back side.   I also purchased some Applipops  , which were a bit on the expensive side($35) and decided to try them for all the circles in this quilt. They are not worth the price in my opinion.  To each his own. I prefer my mylar circle washers, There are many more sizes and easier to use.
