Spring has officially arrived but we need to tell Mother Nature , she seems to think we should still be having winter weather , it is mighty cold out there today with strong winds blowing around that snow . However ,the mailman has brightened my day with not one but two Spring postcards . The first one is from my partner in the exchange
Jo .
Jo is new to making postcards and did a fabulous job , isn't it just adorable . The wording and the line from the bee have been hand embroidered . You would certainly never know you weren't familiar with making postcards , really great job!! Thanks so much Jo ,I love it .
Next is my friend
Judy who sent along this lovely rose , I am quite intrigued as to how she made it . I love all the quilting she has done as well .
Isn't it gorgeous , she painted the fabric for the rose with textile paints , so pretty . It will be a LONG time before we see any roses here , first we must melt about 6' of snow . Thanks so much Judy I love it !!
I have one little finish to share , I had been following along with the spring blog hop on
Buttermilk Basin and printed off a few of the patterns provided but this one really spoke to my heart so I immediately started stitching .
My hubby laughed when he seen this , he said , "Do you think that will work lol"! I can hope . This was a free pattern from
Gail Pan , I think it is quite cute and was fun to stitch up while sitting wrapped up in my quilt :-)
I also have been making a few postcards , I can only share one right now and that one has been sent off to my Mom who celebrates her birthday this week .
Similar to one I have in my new header , I just had to get rid of that snow picture , thought it might be jinxing us .
I am off now to get some supper on the stove so I thank you for stopping by today and hope you have a really nice day .
Hugs Sheila
