This month has been a busy one. Lots to do in the yard and plenty to do inside as well. I finished Lael Lovell's latest masterpiece. She does such a wonderful job in her piecing. I always love her color choice. This was a kit, so the fabric was pre-selected. I used Superior Thread threads Magnifico in the top and Sew Fine in the bobbin. I made a template using freezer paper to mark all the feather work. I am very pleased with the way this one came out. Lael just picked it up and was extremely happy. This one took a while to quilt.
Now I need to move on to my own quilts and get things ready for the Dixie Quilt show that will be held in the ladder part of April at the Dixie convention center here in St. George.
I really enjoy quilting, but my hands have started hurting pretty badly. I am afraid I am going to have to kind of cut back on the amount I do. I worked on this one in 4 hour blocks.
I have been doing a lot of work in the yard too, trying to get things planted and ready for summer. It is nice and warm. I love this weather. I have two little tomatoes on one of my plants!
Easter is just around the corner. Dave and I will be staying here in St. George. I had thought we might head to Moab, but he wants to take his telescope out in the desert and so some photography of the night sky. I will go out with him, I doubt he will want to stay more than one night. I am hoping he will want to go up into the mountains when it gets a bit warmer. We need to use the small motor home we purchased.
I hope everyone has a very Happy Easter!
