We have a little touch of spring coming our way even though it feels very chilly outside and will get down in the twenty’s on Tuesday to Thursday I think from what the news said. Here is a photo of our first daffodil blooms.
the first ones to open
I also found a leave bud on one of the clematis! Could it be that spring really is around the corner although it doesn’t feel like it 
a little blurry but here is a leave bud.
Thank you to all that have left me names of authors to look up at the library. I have made a list and will start to look for them soon. I will go through my shelves and make up a list to post on here too so maybe some of you will find someone new to read also.
I have spent the last couple of days quilting on my “Devil’s Puzzle” little top and it is coming along nicely. I don’t know if you can see the quilting very well on this photo though but the center is done and I am almost finished with the first border around the center. If you click on the photo it will go to a larger size to see the quilting on it. Just simple quilting and I am not putting a whole lot of quilting in on this one. Around the first border I used a simple braid stencil. Around the outer border I will use a different stencil. I’m not sure which one I will use but I have several to choose from. This one will be done quickly. I think when I am done with it instead of starting another applique block for one of my other quilts that I am making I might get another quilt ready to quilt. I really need to get caught up on the quilting. Of course I have noticed in this top that I am working on that I have some of the red that bled in the applique block that I did last month it!! I will have baste some of the color catchers on those areas to make sure it doesn’t happen on this one – love to use scraps but you never remember what has been washed and what hasn’t when you use scraps that are close to ten years old or whatever!
