About this time of year, those of us who live in New England get a bit antsy for Spring. The weather forecast told us this morning that it will be going down into the single digets tonight . BUT, I heard a sound this morning I had not heard in a few months, bird song! I looked outside my front door and there was this small brown bird sitting on the railing tweeting it's heart out. YES! And yes,it did raise my spirits and got be thinking that Spring is probably a lot closer than the weather forecast would have us believe.
One of my favorite things to make are baby quilts. It not only is a gift that welcomes a new life into the world but I also love all the fun fabrics one has to chooses from. Six years ago I made this pearadise baby quilt to welcome my niece Emily and her husband Michael's second child into the world. At the time, I did not know the sex of the baby but when I saw this fabric, I could see it would be find for either sex PLUS, I had to have it! In fact, after making the quilt, I liked the fabric so much that I purchased more of it. From the new fabric and left over scraps from the baby quilt I made a reversable apron, a small wall hanging and several hot pads. As always, I kept all the scraps. This past weekend, I pulled the scraps out of my stash and proceeded to made the pictured coiled fabric basket. WHAT FUN!
