Sweet Spring

How time flies!

I can't believe that April is almost over, which makes us 1/3 of the way through 2013!

Hope spring has finally reached all of you.

Some of you may remember this pattern,

featured on the cover of "Primitive Quilts and Projects" magazine for Spring 2013.

It's now available for purchase as an individual pattern on my website on the New Patterns page.

 I've also got a few issues of the magazine left for sale on the same page of my website.

Here's a glimpse of spring in my backyard garden.

If you order the pattern, you'll see that I used this picture as a background on the cover.

I've also made a bunch of primitive buntings to sell on my Etsy shop.

So if you haven't visited for awhile, please take a moment to stop by.

Happy sweet spring, everyone!

New Pattern--Barnyard Buddies

The flu hit our home this week--yuk.  Who knew there were so many places on one's body that could hurt?  Even my hair!  A good excuse to curl up on the couch with a good book and be waited on for a change!

On to happier topics.  I've actually had this quilt finished for a few weeks but when you live on the wet coast of Canada, it sometimes can take awhile for the sun to come out so I can hang the quilt on my washline and photograph it.  So the sun shone today and it's supposed to rain again tomorrow so I ran out and got the picture.

The quilt is called "Barnyard Buddies" and it will be going to the printer on Monday and will be available on my website right after that.

Like a lot of my projects, there's a mixture of patchwork and applique.

It measures 60" x 72".

I love the quirky animals!

Like the horse with his buck teeth.

The cow, not at all anatomically correct!

Mommy pig so proud of her little ones!

The fat sheep,

And Mother chicken with her brood.

Of course, I've got to stick a crow in there someplace!

Why not on the barn?

 Isn't it fun?

What do you think?
