An Easter Daffodil

that is as pretty as can be!

there was no letting go of her purse.

she walked with it, hunted with it, slid with it, sat with it and slept with it!

My Spring {Porch}

Quilt Along Block {three}

here's block three of the comfort & joy quilt along!

if you want to join head on over here.

i made a couple changes. {surprise, surprise}

i used the snowman for a book called window quilts by ginger cookie company

and i sewed my flag rather than appliqueing it. i cut 1 3/4" x 20" strips (three red & two beige) and sewed the strips together with a wavy seam. then trim it to 6 1/2" x 18 1/2" and applique the square and stars to it.

happy quilting!!!

Dad's New {OLD} Ford

my dad drove his 50's ford over to show us and the kids went crazy!

she's so cute...she really should've been born in the 50's, that's where her heart is!

thanks for sharing it with us dad!
