Spring is on it's way!

 

OK Spring!

I know you're out there somewhere!

 

 





There you are!  My favorite sign of spring!  Snowdrops!

I took this shot lying on the sidewalk on Moncton Street in Steveston....much to my husband's dismay!

Hahahaha!









 My Madrona Road challenge is languishing on the design wall. I can't seem to get going with all the squaring up of the blocks. It's tedious and lets face it, more than a bit boring...so that's sitting for the moment. I have to finish it in time for the next Vancouver Modern meeting, 3rd week in March, so I still have time and lets face it, I work the VERY best under pressure!  It's been a great challenge for me.  I tried a new pattern, tweaked it to my own liking and working with blue, black, yellow and white was quite interesting.

So what have I been doing......well, here it is.....Jazz Hands by Sarah Fielke from the book Material Obsession 2 (More Modern Quilts with Traditional Roots) by Kathy Doughty and Sarah Fielke. 

 

Usually I would never tackle hand piecing, let alone the hand piecing of 72 little tiny template pieces, but here it is......just the thing for a cold, wet February day!  I just love how the wind picked up the bottom corner as I took that shot!

                                                                                                                                                                       

 

At the moment, the sun is shining and I'm off for a walk to my favorite place on the planet.  I am so fortunate.  Have a great week...quilt on!
