Friday check in: birds have perched, OMG for April, and a new start from With Strings Attached

My OMG for April is to make a daisy-themed tote bag. It's for the chair of the Illinois P.E.O. Home Fund committee.

Midweek: OMG success + the stash report from With Strings Attached

The bird houses are all set!
I wanted a busy setting and that's what I got. Both the sashing and the border fabrics were purchased at Quiltagious last week. The sashing is Art Gallery (Bari J) and the border is Kaffe's Antwerp Flowers. Both prints pick up all of the colors in the blocks.

5-1/4 yards by weight. Approx. 72 x 84.

I will add two or three appliqued birds.

Weekly update: small projects, construction begins, and two books from With Strings Attached

I made hamantaschen for Purim but the dough lost the triangle shape during baking. In essence I made shortbread cookies topped with jam. Though they weren't pretty, they were tasty.

The St. Patrick's Day soda bread turned out better. We're still enjoying it and leftover crock-pot corned beef. .

Spring Comes First to the Willows is a young adult novel from the time I was a young adult. I think of that phrase every spring when the willows green up. I don't remember anything about the book other than its title so I've put in an ...
