Cold and windy...

 ... that's what the weather has been like lately.

I am ready for Spring, but Spring doesn't seem ready to arrive. Oh sure, we had a couple of days of warm, sunny weather, but that hasn't lasted. Every time I think I will get some outside work done, we get cold temps, wind, wind, wind, and freeze warnings. 

The daffodils finally bloomed, about 3 weeks later than the two previous years.

This is a miniature tulip, bright red. 

So tiny.

These full-sized red tulips are late to bloom this year, too.

There is very little sewing happening because, well, you know...

Look at that face! He's saying 'pay attention to me!'

When he decides to nap on my lap I just can't make him move.

He assists me in my sewing room. I had just moved my plants out to the garage to re-pot them. He had to make sure I got them all! 

He also assists me with keeping my work surface cleared. Ha! He loves to nudge pencils off so he can play with them on the floor.

Hoppy also approved my recent fabric purchase.

The 'Girls' (my quilting buddies) made our monthly trip to Bolines last week. If you live near Bloomington I highly recommend this shop. The owner is a lovely person, the fabric selection is wonderful and the prices are great.

He enjoys watching quilting tutorials on YouTube.

I did get a little sewing done. I thought about adding sashing and decided against it.

Now I am wondering if a half-inch gold sashing would look better.

I am thinking I will add a thin inner half-inch border of gold, then one inch of red, then two inches of green and bind with green. Any thoughts?

To see what other quilters are up to go to Small Quilts and Doll Quilts.

Stay safe and well.

Happy quilting.
