March weather can be a little… unpredictable.

One day it feels like spring has finally arrived, the sun is shining, and you’re ready to start planning your garden… and the next day you wake up to chilly winds and wonder if winter is coming back again!

That’s exactly why I love having a cozy creative project to work on this time of year — something cheerful and colorful that brings a little springtime joy into the sewing room no matter what the weather is doing outside.

And that’s why I’m so excited to share that Month 2 ...

Step By Step from From the Strawberry Patch...

  Spring is arriving, step by step... I'm ready!  I wish I could say it was a steady and gradual shift into spring, but that's not the case. One day we'll have beautiful almost-summerlike days and the next we're plunged back into a day that's cold and blustery, winter still has a grip. I've dug out my wintered-over geraniums and potted them up to enjoy the warmer, sunnmy days

Easy Spring Chick Sewing Pattern – A Cute Scrap-Busting Project from Patchwork Posse

Spring always makes me want to sew something small and cheerful.

Not a full quilt. Not a big commitment. Just something quick that uses up a few scraps and brings a little bit of that “fresh start” feeling into the sewing room.

This little spring chick does exactly that.

It’s simple, beginner-friendly, and one of those projects that comes together faster than you expect. You don’t need much fabric, you don’t need anything fancy, and you probably already have everything sitting in your stash.

If you’ve been wanting a quick win at your sewing machine, this ...

Nordic Blooms: Bring Color to the Last Days of Winter from Jacquelynne Steves

There’s something magical about this time of year.

The snow may still be falling… the trees may still be bare… and yet we begin to crave color. Bright, joyful color. The kind that feels hopeful. The kind that reminds us spring is coming.

That’s exactly the spirit behind our March Collection in The Art of Home Club — Nordic Blooms.

Inspired by traditional Norwegian folk art, this collection is filled with bold florals, rich reds, deep navy, warm golden tones, and that unmistakable Scandinavian charm.

It’s cozy.
It’s vibrant.
And it absolutely glows against a winter backdrop ...

There may still be snow on the ground.
The trees may still look bare.
Your morning coffee might still come with a side of frost on the windows…

But inside your sewing room?

The Past Few Weeks... from From the Strawberry Patch...

Consider this a catch-up post. I really do always have the best intentions of keeping up with this blog but, as we all know, life has a way of taking over. We did have a wonderful time with my Dad visiting here for three weeks before we headed back north with him at the beginning of the month.He especially enjoyed this copy of National Geographic from April 1928, his birth month and year; gifted

Sunday Chat from From My Carolina Home

As the weather warms, more green is coming out on all the trees. It is lovely around our place, as well as on the drives we’ve been taking. The redbud has finished its flower show. Several mornings this past week have been foggy like this in the early morning.

The purple petunias in the hanging baskets are apparently very happy.

With all the spring green outside, I decided to bring that color inside for a nice tablescape. Spring green chargers and napkins provide the color, with a centerpiece of green, white and pink.

The settings have white china plates ...

Spring Time Tulips from Magpie Quilts

Springtime and the tulips are popping up somewhere - not here in Alberta yet!

I've had this buttery yellow floral print for a while and thought I could use it to bring a bit of springtime early. (pictures are from early 2025)
A sweet tulip pattern and some custom quilting by me.
It's always hard for me to decide what I want to quilt. I'm getting better every time I do my own quilting, but I still prefer to send my big quilts out to be quilted and my go-to for most projects is an all-over meander. 
And ...

Wedges Gone Wild! from From the Strawberry Patch...

I know, it's been a while. I'm still here... still sewing up a storm. If you recall, from a former post, my latest obsession was the wedge block. Well, I'm still at it with this strip pieced variation. These wedges appear to be spinning out of control! This 16 block small wall quilt measures 28" square right now, I have plans for borders; we'll see how this progresses. Now, back to the scrappy
