This week I made a mini quilt -
Kathleen Tracy had a few block patterns on her FaceBook group for us to make a mini quilt. I used two of the block patterns and made a little table mat.
I tried stepping out of my box for colours for this one - I wanted something a bit lighter and spring like, and chose colours based on the outer border fabric (mainly split complimentary). The blocks are 3", the quilt is 18.5"x26".
We had a snow storm at the beginning of the week (hopefully the last one!), so I used some fresh snow to dye some fabric.
I am always amazed how dirty snow is even though it looked clean.
The finished fabric matches the blooms on the Thanksgiving Cactus.

Moon above the horizon early one morning- the day after the Artemis II launch (with the first Canadian to go to the moon, we have been watching a lot of YouTube videos)
Curious GingerSnap!.
We are surprised to see Gemma doing so well (she is the grey one in the middle - a Sapphire Gem hen).
For well over a year she has looked pretty bedraggled. Her first winter she had frost bite on a toe, lost most of her comb and wattles because of the cold, and lost most of the feathers on her body. The feathers didn't grow back last summer, she looked like skin and bones going into the winter but somehow she survived and is doing well!
For some reason Miss Maggie has started to sit on my husband's lap anytime he puzzles - she just likes to watch I guess.
The snow is really melting now, so ditches got cleared ,
The top of the little fence makes a good scratching post.
Lots more snow has to melt before I can get in the garden.
Sunrise.
All the best!♥︎
