More Spring!

Viginia Bluebells blooming in my garden!

Fiddleheads coming up from my ferns!

Currently I'm working on this small art quilt inspired by the Virginia bluebells and the fiddleheads of the ferns. The fabrics are various dyed and printed silks that I created. Now to finish free motion quilting the piece!

Spring!

Spring has arrived! Our dogwoods and azaleas are in bloom!

This is the same view last year during the season we call "Dogwood Winter" here in Kentucky. So far our weather this year is sunny and in the 70's and 80's. But you never know what might happen!
