I have part of my first block of my Christmas Baltimore Album glue basted in place – maybe I will finish getting this block ready for applique later today – and maybe not. We are in for a stormy night here in Arkansas. There has already been one tornado report in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 4 to the west of us and I do believe more storms will be popping up and be in Arkansas this evening. I sure hope we don’t loose our power or have any severe storms here in central Arkansas.
I got another block finished last night on my “Insanity Revisited” this one is 
E-6 called Deanie’s Daisies. It is hand pieced and the center is needle turn applique.
We have our first spring flowers open up by the road. We planted some early daffodils along the tree line to our property years ago and they are the early every year. Such a nice bright yellow. Very often you will see them surrounded by snow – I hope not this year – but I would rather have a snow storm than a tornado! I am going to post here a string of spring photos.
I haven’t a clue what this flower is. It was not there last year. Now there is a little bush with these little yellow flowers on it. It must have washed in last summer and I never noticed it.
Here are the yellow daffodils.
Honeysuckle starting to turn green. Actually this stays kind of green all year, but I can tell this one is new, around here honeysuckle tends to get out of control at times and grows all over the trees and bushes if you let it.
Yesterday’s question was which type of pin is the shortest – and the answer was Applique pins – they tend to be only about 1/2 inch long! The shorter length helps to keep your thread from tangling when you are sewing.
Next question: During free motion quilting, the sewing machine feed dogs are: UP or DOWN
