Springing into
National Quilting Day
(picture heavy post)
*
Tomorrow (Saturday) is the first day of Spring (my favorite season) and National Quilting Day. A day to enjoy my needle and thread with wild abandon. teehee!In my attempts to keep Mrs. McNasty from accusing me of lacking originality or being a big ole copy cat I've been digging through my stash. I've found two wonderful piles of fabric and now I'm attempting to decide what pattern to use. Any thoughts or ideas?
How about this one - any thoughts or ideas?
March Schnibbles Roundabout is officially a flimsy - I used Make Life by Sweetwater/Moda and love the results. Need to order backing & binding early next week.
The Aviary Turnover project is also officially a flimsy. Need backing & binding for this one, too.
Two Simple Abundance Piece of Cake quilts have been delivered - woohoo. I think the recipients were surprised, excited & pleased.
These three sweet angel stitcheries - Hope, Faith, & Peace have been delivered to a fellow blogger. I think she was surprised, as well.
And, I finished the March Snowbound blocks for Kelly & Terry but failed to take a picture before I mailed them. They are safe & sound with Kelly & Terry. WooHoo!
This is what happens when I don't update my blog for almost two weeks - whew! LOL
I hope you're enjoying your day - you've made mine by stopping by to visit with me. Thank you so much!
In Friendship!

You have been busy, and looks like you plan on being even busier :). They are all so springy and pretty.
Everything looks fantastic! I especially like the Make Life Roundabout.
I'm so looking forward to spring.
I'm completely in love with the aviary tunover project.... You're having fun I can tell.
Darlene, I love your Roundabout quilt with the Make Life fabric. I really like that fabric line. I'm making mine with Simple Abundance fabric. Yes, I was so surprised and happy with the Piece of Cake quilt, thank you again so much. You've been a busy little bee. Your Aviary quilt, it just beautiful, I really like it. I just know you'll find the perfect pattern for your nice fabrics. Happy National Quilting Day and Happy Spring.
Those fabrics are scrumptious! I'm sure you'll find the perfect project for them!
Roundabout is wonderful - I wish I liked piecing better, I'd love to make that one! Love the Turnover too.
Love the quilts and stitcheries, Darlene - I'm sure the recipients were VERY pleased!
I think I'll join you in spending the day quilting tomorrow, it's turning very cold here and that's a good excuse to stay in with the iron on!
oMgoodness Darlene, what a busy beaver you have been. Those fabric selections are gorgeous but I mus admit to especially liking the second set, they feel like they should be in something old and vintagey. You do such beautiful work.
hugs Deb
Your Roundabout looks so nice made from Make Life. It's so light and bright..just love it, Darlene.
My goodness, you've been a busy lady - and such a kind hearted busy lady at that !!
It doesn't appear like there should be anything left for you to do except sit back, relax and maybe enjoy some sunshine.
Darlene.. you have a heart of gold... Bless you!!
And I love your Roundabout.. I am working on mine that have been a "Turnabout"...;o)
Good luck on Spring projects.. Have fun!
I love your Roundabout! Great fabric choice! And the polka dots in your turnover top~ cute, cute, cute! Wonderful stitcheries too. Now what are you going to do with those lovely fabrics? The floral and the brights really caught my eye- I'll be back to see what you are up to! Have a wonderful Nat. Quilting Day!
I like the second set of fabrics. I just don't know what to make with them. You have been a busy girl. Excellent job as always.
What a busy lady you are. Even though it has been two weeks it shows you have been very busy. Such great fun. I do not have any ideas for your quilts but I love the fabrics in both. I am quite sure you will be making some fantastic pieces out of them.
Wow Darlene, you have been a busy girl. I love your Schnibbles. Well I love all you quilts ;-)
You are a dynamo, not only are you making wonderful quilts, you're doing wonderful Rak's for very surprised bloggers. Your fabrics are delicious.
You bet I loved my quilt...still beyond words.
Your Roundabout is perfect...mind if I copy? (kidding!!!)
Enjoy your quilting day and the weekend. I'll watch and see what becomes of those fabrics....I just know you'll come up with something!
Love all your quilts! Love the stitcheries too...they're on my list of things to get to, as soon as I get a few more things done. Thanks for the snowman! :0)
Hi Darlene ~ what an amazing quilter you are...giving away those beautiful Piece of Cake quilts. Love them!! ....saw one over at Quilt Hollow and commented on it. You are such a generous person. I love that roundabout quilt, too.
Love your line up of fabrics, no suggestions I'm sorry. The Make Life flimsy is so adorable,and blessed recipients who received the 2 Simple Abundance quilts.
Wow - busy you - and very pretty (the quilts are pretty too) :-)
Happy National Quilting Day. What more can you possibly accomplish this week?! My goodness but you are a busy girl. :-D
Love what you have been up to!
I love your fabric combos!! That make life roundabout is wonderful...I love that line! I'd like to give this Mrs. McNasty a piece of my mind if she's been giving my big sis a hard time...what a big meany :( I'm stopping there I was about to get carried away....yikes :)
oops...that was me. Jonathan and Sarah have started a blog and they didn't sign out...I have a feeling I am leaving comments all over not realizing I'm signed in as someone else :(
What a great list of finishes Darlene! The Make Life Roundabout is striking!
Those two piles of fabric would work for many projects. I'm sure you'll find the right pattern.
I just absolutely love your roundabout in Make Life! And so many finishes...and fabrics for projects! I've loved seeing your wonderful gifts show up around blogland too! happy national quilting day!
Busy, busy girl! I love both piles of fabric. Can't wait to see what they turn in to...I know it will be wonderful! Happy National Quilting Day! Happy Spring!
The fabric looks so lovely and ready for you to work you magic!!
You have been busy!! The little angel stitcheries are so adorable!!
Thalnks goodness spring is here! Although, it's snowing like crazy outside this morning near Chicago. But it will still be a good day because a friend is coming over - she wants me to teach her how to quilt! Love all your beautiful projects - you've really gotten your mojo back! dsb448@att.net
Wow Darlene, you have been so busy. Love your fabrics and the Schnibbles quilt is gorgeous. I am looking so forward to spring too.
Wow, Darlene! You're amazing! I don't have any ideas for the stack of fabrics, but I like the way they look together. Of course, by the time I think of something to do with them, you'll already have them pieced, quilted and bound! :)
I love all your projects, but especially love the Roundabout Schnibbles quilt. It's precious!
Looks like that quilting mojo that went missing last October is back in full force. Now can you help me find mine? I think it's visiting your house!
Wow! Look at all you have accomplished! Love your Roundabout...I need to get busy on mine!
I love all your quilts...I am looking forward to having some quilt time...we are finishing up the month in Florida!!! Will be back to see what you decided to do ...
Oh man, I love those stacks of fabrics! I can't wait to see what you decide to do with them. Did you decide yet? and I love your flimsy's!
Such beautiful fabrics, and such wonderful work. Thank you for sharing.
Good Morning Darlene!
I hope you had a great National Quilting Day!
I'm loving that Roundabout quilt more and more each time I see a finished top, yours turned out great!
The Aviary Turnover, the sweetest thing I've seen in ages, there's just something about it, the simple design, the calm fabric, I can't put my finger on it but I just love it!
As always, you embroidery is perfect and a constant inspiration to me!
Being away for so long produces many projects. I love all your quilts, the Aviary quilt is gorgeous. Those stitcheries are wonderful. I can wait to see what you come up with on those fabrics. How about a quilt with baskets.
You sure got a lot done! Love love love them all! Oh, I'm about to get started on some embroidery project. Just need to decide which one. So I'll be picking your brain, I'm sure, for hints and tips!
Take a look see at this tutorial and see if the interlocking pinwheels inspire you for your fabric.

Wow, Darlene! You're putting us all to shame. What a prolific month you've had so far and it's not over yet!
Great job on everything. I'd be hard pressed to pick a favorite because everything is so gorgeous.
Don't stop now my friend because you're definitely on a roll! Thanks for sharing.
Great job on all of your projects...You ahve been quite busy!

Oh my goodness, you have accomplished so much since I last stopped by! You have been working those little fingers to the bone! Well done!
I have no ideas to pass along...I'd just stack those babies up and enjoy the view!
Wow you've been busy over here. Love all your projects.
Happy Spring.

You do such amazing work. Everything is so beautiful.
Holy Cow Woman! Look at all those projects. I LOVE that roundabout quilt -- Make Life is my current fabric crush!
Lovely stuff from the fabric to the finished projects. You've certainly got no lack of mojo.
You're such a wonderfully giving person, Darlene - and so talented too! I love your Roundabout - and the Aviary quilt, too. Can't wait to see what you make with those lovely fabrics!
Love your blog. I've done 5 of those angel blocks. Luv them and they were so quick to finish.

I did see the beautiful quilt you sent to Mary at Quilt Hollow. That was so nice of you.
Those angels are so cute too.
