Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge

The Hubster and I took a day out to hike and picnic.

We chose the Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge.

The day was mostly clear and slightly chilly.

I thought it would be more spring like. You know, green and full of birds.

I guess we were a bit too early since some of the water still had ice formations.

No matter.

And More Pillowcases

You may remember from a previous post that I had cut fabric to make pillowcase kits for donations.

A lot of fabric.

And a lot of kits.

Sewing Studio

I originally was going to spread the sewing out over the year.

Then I decided to see how many I could sew in March.

I have lots made, and I still have lots to sew.

Pillowcases

I don’t own a serger, so I have chosen to make French seams.

This takes me a little bit longer, but there are no exposed seams in these pillowcases, and I like that.

Spring is showing herself with sunshine and bright green things poking up from the soil.

It is getting hard to stay indoors!

We will see how many more kits I can get finished through the rest of this month!

Have fun and carry on!

Shamrock Table Toppers

I have three small cabinets that have table tops that measure 15″ x 18″ and I like to switch out seasonal table toppers on them.

I didn’t have anything for St. Patrick’s Day, so I did some internet surfing and found Joanna Figueroa’s (Fig Tree & Company) Lucky Shamrock free quilt block.

I dug into the green and white scraps and, ta-da!

Three St. Patrick’s Day table toppers!

No fancy quilting; just keeping it simple.

I am looking forward to green outdoors, and I am finding some green shoots sprouting!

Spring is coming!
