I FINALLY pieced a back for my niece's log cabin quilt. I don't know what my problem is - I will put a million pieces together to make a quilt top, but if my backing fabric isn't big enough, I screech to a halt at the thought of piecing a backing. However, my sister is coming for a visit at the beginning of April with my niece and nephew, and I'd love to send my niece's quilt home with them. I got the back pieced and the quilt sandwiched in about an hour and a half, and have spent several hours hand quilting it so far.

I've also now received all of my
Block Lotto winnings from January, so it is time to PLAY with layout. I am determined to get these sewn into a top SOONER rather than later - I love them! I think I'm going to make a few more blocks, though...
And look what I picked up at an auction earlier this week! I spied this cute little wooden sewing box, which, in reality, isn't in the best shape, but when I opened it up and saw all the wooden spools, I just HAD to have it!
Life is good.
The sun is shining, and the temps are mild.
I have finished reading application files for the season, so my free time is back to being my free time.
My mom is here for a visit.
Lots of fun things are happening at
my shop.
Life is GOOD!
