We are getting early spring weather here in that it is unpredictable!  One day rain and warm – tomorrow – who knows maybe it will be rain and snow flurries from what the weather forecast is.  I hope it doesn’t get too cold I just checked today and I have a couple of tiny rose buds (not open) and my azalea’s are starting to open as well.  It looks like March is going out like a lion as the saying goes.

I have been so busy with applique the last couple of days.  I have the Baltimore Album block Christmas Cactus Wreath almost finished!  I have one more flower cluster to put down and then I am adding just a little embroidery.  I will have to the package of patterns back out and see which one will be next.  I haven’t looked at the patterns for a month and don’t even remember what they look like!  I will post a photo of the block when it is finished.

3390530203_ed80f7bac4I have just gotten a little quilting on “Insanity” done this week.  I told you all I am like this – I start out with a new quilt on the frame and work a lot on it for the first month or couple weeks then I slow down – this is normal for me, but I will be working more on it off and on.  I am still on row C this is numbers 6 & 7 from right to left.

Last week on a blog that I was reading the person wanted opinions on her style of blog.3390553305_6c7fb97e71 The first 5 comments she received were going to receive a gift — I got one!  It arrived in the mail today.  A pattern for a easy zippered wallet.    Here is a link to Jamie’s blog and to her web site of patterns.  There are patterns for bags here and other things as well.  You might want to check her out.  You see that label right down there underneath the pattern that says “Scrap-bags”?  That is a label that is included in the package with the pattern – all ready for you to add your custom label to the wallet, a nice little extra I thought.
