Hello April--
I did this, whole 12 month series, and this one --is one of my favorites--!!!
I guess we will do quilt-y things first--
I have gotten this months BOM on the Country living project finished-
there was 2 blocks--the sheep and the embroidery block-both were enjoyable to do--I did get a bit colorful on the flowers--though???And Pink is the color for the month--so here is some of my jewels in the pinks--
first up is some 'fussy' cut ones--the two flower ones on the bottom is from a piece of fabric my friend, Anne, in NY sent me in her letter this week--and I noticed-- in laying these out to photo that I believe I could sew these together with a filler piece-- instead of having them with rows upside down like in the pattern I had seen--Hummm?????????????And here is lots of hearts --in pinks--all shades of pink---
and my 'other' self--the one who loves fabric and spending money--did a couple fabric orders this month--
These are fabrics for the second BOM-I and doing from Attic Heirlooms --the top piece and last piece are not from the line that the others are from--oh, and maybe the couple browns--??? This is suppose to be a quilt as you go project--so I needed to get my fabrics so I can start on that part--the blocks for #1 & #2 are all embroidered--am working on #3!!
And here is '7' Tilda fabrics that were on sale for only less than $10 a yard--good sale--I got half yards of these to make some Grandmother garden flowers to go with some I already started in the hexagons--Remember these--felt I needed more 'color'--at least that is what I am telling myself--to justify the order!!!!
And my purple pansy is so pretty--
Doesn't this one's center look like it is lit up???
And I did get to go to a Thrift shop last week--
I lucked out and found 3 of my mini cup and saucer sets--the one with the little bird on it had a tag that said 'Dayspring' on it--also the basket in the back is new-
picked up these two items--love the little white basket--
And this heavy glass dish--I seen it yesterday on facebook-- I seen a gal in a thrift store find this same one--and there was a 2nd piece--a creamer--so this must be a sugar bowl--now to find the creamer to go with it--they were both on a glass tray too--!!!!
I bought this new at Beall's--went to wash it and discovered a sticker on the bottom saying--Made in china-contains lead--what--I was gonna drink out of it--would of taken it back --but decided to keep--can you tell me why?????(answer--it's pink and has roses!!!!)
And here is my Easter decorating for this year--plus some rabbits on my desk--Easter just came too quick for me this year--I did have some plans--but at least most of my 'favorite things were out!! And I am keeping them out for awhile longer--I can do that--right????
I have lots of projects in the works--hopefully next week I will have some more to share with you--
KEEP THINKING GOOD THOUGHTS AND PLANNING THAT NEXT STITCHING PROJECT AND THIS TIME OF THE YEAR--GARDEN --PLANS ARE AT THE TOP OF THE LIST--
ENJOY AND HUGS, DI

Oh, Di you have so many pretty projects in the works. You always inspire me. The little Wildflower embroidery is as cute as a button. Wowzer on the wonderful thrift haul! You found some adorable tea cups and saucers. And great fabric haul as well. Sounds like a good week to me. Have a wonderful afternoon. PS. your Easter display is gorgeous. I cannot thank you enough for stitching so many of my humble designs. Hugs.
Those hearts are so cute, the animal ones are just adorable. Looks like you've been busy and will stay busy with all those new fabrics. Happy stitching this week.
Beautiful pink hearts you've made, Di;))) Your new fabrics are so pretty; and those heavy glass dishes are really neat. Gorgeous pansey color and the center does look all lit up;)))
Hugs, Julierose..
Love seeing what you've been working on, finding at the thrift shop, and your sweet Easter decorations, too! I've been playing with a charm pack of Tilda - first time ever - these prints are so pretty. I think one is the same as you show farthest to the left in your photo. Happy Spring!
You’ve made some lovely pink hearts.🩷 🩷 🩷
