Saturday Sparks Link Party 712 from Pieced Pastimes

Welcome to Saturday Sparks 712!

Starting off today's party with a lovely March sunrise!

As you can see, winter tends to linger here in New Hampshire.

Yes, we are covered in white, but the snow (once measured in feet) has dwindled to mere inches.

Mud season will be here in short order to be faithfully followed by all things spring.

For this, I am thankful.

"You think winter will never end, and then, when you don't expect it, when you have almost forgotten it, warmth comes and a different light."

~ Wendell Berry

Now, onto the party,

Because One Challenge Wasn’t Enough from Quilt Paint Create

At Art Quilt Group this week we started a new challenge. Everyone brought a small unfinished item in a paper bag, which we traded. We have two months to turn the contents into a finished project.

This is what I put in my bag for someone else to finish. I made it in a class many years ago with no real plans for it. The fabric is painted with leaves stamped on it. The circles are Shiva paintstik over rubbing plates.

This is what I received.

There are three blocks, some random fabric pieces, and 2/3 of a gift ...

Priscilla's Tops from Kat & Cat Quilts

Happy Friday, quilters! This week I have tops by Priscilla and quilted by three different quilters. This first one was quilted by me, I think the colors are really fun.

Next up, a HUGE disappearing nine patch quilted by Doris. This one is a really show-stopper. The colors are so coordinated it doesn't even look like a scrap quilt until you look close.

Lastly, a jelly-roll-race style top quilted by Linda. I like the effect of having the dark strips in the middle with the light ones on the outside.

Spring cleaning is in full effect here. I'm ...

It's time for I Like Thursday! Please visit LeeAnna to link up with more participating blogs. Well, my Christmas Cactus is blossoming again! This is the third time since November. Is this normal??

These Empty Places from Happy Cottage Quilter

book cover for These Empty Places

These Empty Places by Sarah Loudin Thomas is a slow paced interesting novel.

Claire and Lena have experienced hardship. The story is about the strength and friendship of these two women and how they moved past the hurts. They learn to love and make choices that shape their lives. It's about courage and forgiveness. Beautifully written characters. Ms Thomas describes the time period and places so well. She is a master storyteller as evidenced in this novel. Clean and faith fulled.

I received an e- copy of this book from the publisher and NetGalley in exchange for my honest ...

Here Comes Peter Cottontail from Melva Loves Scraps

I mentioned at the beginning of the week that I was in process of making some Easter goodie bags... I made and filled three bunny goodie bags and one carrot. They turned out just adorable!

And... as promised, I am sharing the links for the patterns!

I made hair scrunchies to hold the bag shut. The pattern (which is available in three sizes) suggested ribbon. I had some strips of Easter fabric in the stash that was given to me by a friend about 10 years ago.

After making the bunnies (medium sized bag), I searched for a carrot bag ...

Diabolical Jane: Final Layout on the Wall from The Colorful Fabricholic

After much tinkering, I've decided on the layout for my version of Diabolical Jane.

My version repeats some of the fabrics more than the original, but I'm satisfied and I don't feel the need to find a couple more prints just to increase the fabric count.

I will carefully transfer this to the flannel side of a vinyl table cloth, roll it around a pool noodle, and take it to retreat in April. The construction is log cabin-like, starting from the outside center and building in to make each quadrant.

I'm seeing an optical effect that ...

Wooden House Still Winter Roundup from Canadian Needle Nana

Here is one of the Mother trees near our laneway featuring in a photo taken Wednesday.

It's still mostly winter here and that's all I'll say about that. I suppose it's appropriate that I'm still knitting my very warm afghan. Here's how long it is now.

The male Cardinal is even more beautiful this far into what should be spring. He may be the showiest bird we have in Canada especially against a winter landscape.

And I'm so happy the Barred Owls have returned to Jim's nesting box in Indianna. They were ...

Sewing room time from South Jersey Quilter

This week I've been spending more time in the sewing room, an hour in the morning and an hour in the afternoon. Cutting flannel. Fun fact, a yard of flannel yields 20 8 inch squares. I can cut 10 yards in an hour. I cut a total of 100 yards into squares! That's a lot of squares that will become rag quilts.

I also have about 50 2 yard pieces stacked to become oversized recieving blankets. And maybe 10 pieces of more than 5 yards set aside for whatever.

Anyway, I cut the last yard of flannel late ...

Pattern Release Party — Constellation Crumb Quilt from Brown Bird Designs Quilts

Get your party drink ready… I have my extra-strong coffee in hand, and I am so excited to finally share all the details about my newest quilt pattern — Constellation Crumb Quilt. KEEP READING UNTIL THE END AND YOU WILL FIND THE PARTY FUN!

Let’s Celebrate A Study in Color, Scraps, and Letting Go

Close up on part of a star in the Constellation Crumb quilt as well as the quilt back and binding.

This quilt is truly a study in so many things.

First, it is a study in color and how to create a successful gradient. The design moves from incredibly light pink all the way to a deep, rich purple. In between those two extremes are bright ...

The Top Is Done from Kitty and Me Designs

It took me 6 days but I finally completed the top of the McHenry Landmark Crazy Quilt:

The lace, trim, yo-yo flowers and buttons are all sewn on by hand. The lace is vintage, given to me by my mother in law. The buttons are vintage Mother Of Pearl. Took me hours to go through my stash and find enough of them with the shank and the right size! The leaves have vintage 2 hole MOP of buttons on them too but they have a green tint to them. They kind of blend in which is what I wanted. The ...

I Like Thursday # 497 do you still eat kid's cereal for breakfast? from Not Afraid of Color

welcome to this week's list of likes... starting with a black and white photo I took of my porch

I liked sitting on the porch after work, drinking cherry juice with a splash of amaretto...

and having a sweet puppy again to join us

We set up a small sprinkler because it's dry and hot (90's in the sun) in Colorado in March... and I took a video of Alfie (previously known as Dewi) who had never in all his 21 months see a sprinkler

I haven't figured out how to put it on the blog ...
