Happy Spring!
Do you recognize this gal? It is my first attempt at the Pippilongstocking block that I saw on IG. I wish I knew who to give credit to for this cute free pieced block.
Thank you to all my new and old friends at
Calico Cutters Quilt Guild,
Brandywine Valley Quilters and
Penn Oak Quilters. I had such a good time visiting your groups!
Kelly, of Pinkadot Quilts, was my hostess and driver and I could not have done this trip without her support and help (and coffee). We managed to steal a few minutes to play with some of her swap blocks.
Did I mention she has the best kitchen I've ever seen? the best. I'm so glad I accidentally made all the swap blocks finish at 4 inches so they can go together.
After my workshop and programs I was treated to an afternoon at
Longwood Gardens. It is a life's dream and I plant to return soon!
Here are some highlights - red and yellow catch a fellow.
This is a living green wall - amazing!
I have a real fascination with Bonsai. some of these are over 100 years old!
The silver room in the conservatory - this is for Kathy S. in Illinois.
Hanna is a nut for catus. They are so big right now in home dec.
what a fabulous display in the gift shop.
With spring the flannel sheets are off and the beds sport new quilts.
Mr Starbuck always takes the opportunity to sit on a pile of softness - what a princess.
Have a Great Week!
