We loved Barbara's Easter Quilt, especially her unique fabric selections...
The colors reminded me of gold foil wrapped chocolate bunnies- YUM!

More March Q-Group
Marsha prepared a most delicious luncheon for us, complete with mini blackboarded flower pots for place cards. Paninis, a fabulous salad with a cinnamon spiced dressing, and chocolate souffles for dessert!! (No photos of the food- we were too busy raving about it in between bites!!)

March Meeting at Marsha's

Some Tops Added to the Stack
Every month, someone in our quilt group gets blocks from everyone- in the pattern of their choosing. I asked for some red or turquoise blocks with white centers.
I didn't really have a layout plan, but this is what I came up with. Some of the other blocks are used on the backing. When I finish it, it will be donated for a charity auction.
And the one below is a baby quilt top that I made in the middle of working on the quilt above. While digging around in my stash, I found the HST's that were left over from a Zig Zag quilt I made for my grandson. For some reason, I HAD to sew them together. IMMEDIATELY.

Snow Day Quilt Group
Our regulary scheduled meeting was snowed out, so for many of us, a snow day was a sew day!
We all made these stars in pink and black for Dawn, who will be putting them together for a Play for Pink breast cancer auction.
This big beauty is also by Dawn. I wish the photo was better- it was a typical gray and rainy day when we met a week after being snowed out.

Chicken Scratch
I had to buy it....
I went thrifting (Value Village) for white plastic plates to use as pallets in my art classes. I found just what I needed... and then I found this tablecloth.

It's chicken scratch embroidery-usually done on gingham, but this is a heavier black and white check homespun-type of cloth. I love how the asterisk embroidery completely changes the look of the cloth so that it reads as different solids instead of checks.
All that handwork for less than $5. ... At least it's appreciated now that it has a new home!
Make it a Wonderful Day!
