Snow blows in to Ontario with a vengeance

I put this little quilt together yesterday there was a sew day in the morning with one of my guilds via zoom and Pam Buda of Heartspun quilts  had a wonderful new Archaeology pattern that she is calling "Welcome Spring" using spring colours. 

I decided I wanted another quilt for St Patricks day since the one I made last year went to Australia in a doll quilt swap. 

I still had some of the fabric left so I used greens and blues and I am calling this sweetheart of a quilt Irish Spring. I love how it turned out at the time this was taken I was not able to put on the border due to the paper weight fur ball on top of the border I wanted to use but can you see a corner of it? 

It is together now and I will post it when I have done the quilting it will be simple to go with the simple pattern. So much fun I hope you get a chance to visit the site and make one. 

I am also continuing with my stars and have found a wonderful go between them I will have to post next time didn't take a picture but it has all the color that is used in the quilt so far

And this was the stall in my hand quilting I thought I would have 2 projects finished but shovelling for hours deterred me and believe me my back shoulders thought I grew wings because they were painful just in that spot. 

I did get one side done of the border and only have one more to go I am using this lovely cable I am showing the back and the front just love how it finishes. 

 I am using the needles above they are Chenille 24's and they glide so nice for a big stitch as well as the # 8 valdani no twisting and runs smoothly through the fabric and batting. I can't wait to put the next one on the frame that I will big stitch too. 

Well spring is but a dream as we quilt, the days are getting longer soon the garden will be calling for me am I ready for the change....hmmmm that is mixed emotions for me.
