Spring has Sprung reveal for March

Wow - another AWESOME class with some VERY creative and talented students!!!!!    Seeing the show n tell is the BEST part of this class.

To refresh your memory - this is the quilt that we are working on..................

Spring has Sprung by Cheryl Wall of Country Quilts

And here is the show n tell for this month.................   (and let's hope I get all the name right!!!!)

Kathie was not able to make the class, but she got her homework done!!!

Mary added buttons instead of the red dots on the trees

Katheleen with BRIGHT flowers!

Joyce is appliqueing by hand and still has a bit of work to finish off - hence the pins!!!!!

Linda - nice bright BLUE flowers. Changes the entire look and that background for the tree - perfecct!!!!

Mary has an AWESOME background for her tree. Very STORMY looking and nice bright flowers on the left

Kay fussy cut those little circles on the trees in a multitude of colours and again - NICE BRIGHT flowers

Diane with a GORGEOUS bee that she satin stitched by machine!!!!

Barb - who is spending spring in the TROPICS ..............

and a close up of Barb's killer bee!!!!!

My blocks 

Linda P could not attend either, but I saw her blocks a week ago. Yes - Linda is doing the same quilt as us, but let's just say that she is modifying it somewhat!!!!!!

Here are her other blocks from before (yes - she has done MORE than required!!!)

What???? - Yes - Linda P is doing not one, but TWO quilts. This one is completely different than the other one. LOVE the nice fresh spring colours.

I think we had everyone but one person attend or send in their blocks and EVERYONE was pretty much up to date. You got to love that!!!!!   I tell you - they are a GREAT group of students!!!!!


Now there are two people in the class who are working on something different - similar but different.


Susan is working on Country Album

Country Album

Susan's tree. The original has two small birds above the tree. Susan managed to find some cute little butterflies to applique on. Very nice touch!!!!!

Simply Squares - one of the additional projects in the Spring has Sprung book

Liz got a bit excited and decided to finish the top. Well she still has borders to put on.  As you can see - even something as ordinary as this pieced block - the girls get creative and make it their own!!!!!!

I know they all just chomping at the bit to get the entire quilt done. But let's sit back and enjoy the ride. Besides it is fun to see the quilts come to life bit by bit.

As for the homework for next month - here is what I have got done so far.

Homework for March 

Don't forget to do the pieced part of this block as well - the four patches and the half square triangles.



And there you have the first part of the show n tell for March.

Like I said - a pretty amazing group. Very enthusiastic and very creative!!!!!




Have a great day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Ciao!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
