Hoping Spring will come!

 I do hope Spring will get here soon.  It's time to get the Easter quilt out with its bunnies, baskets and Easter eggs, and yes, the tulips and daffodils are starting to show their color.  Maybe I'm just too anxious.  For what ever reason it just seems to be taking such a long time this year.

But, the Spring retreats are over and done with now.  What fun they were.  Quilt tops got finished up.

And we had another High Tea at the later retreat this year.  Thank you so much, Deb C.  You are so wonderful to treat us to such finery.

I didn't post a picture of the potatoe leek soup but everyone wanted that recipe.  I'll put it in the recipe tab of my blog.  Check it out there.

As I wrap up the paperwork for this Spring's retreats, I'll be pulling out the August retreat information and getting started contacting people about those.  Starting in the spring of 2023, I will be holding back 2 slots for newbie FW owners at each retreat.  So many have been pretty discouraged that they can't seem to get into a slot for so much learning on FWs.  If the newbie slots don't get filled, we'll start filling in spaces with those on the waiting lists.

It's nearly time for the semi-annual move, as well.  I am anxious this year to get back to the North woods and get a chance to work on the Little Brown Bird quilt.  I'm going to hand quilt it so that's my main quilting project this summer.  I'll keep you posted.

As always, I'm working on cleaning up FWs to have them ready to sell.  Contact me if you're looking for a machine.  I acquired quite a few from an estate this spring.  I'll be cleaning and cleaning for awhile.

I have one more maintenance class set up on April 20th 2022.  If you need to take a class, just call the Quilt Patch in Tecumseh (517-423-0053) and get yourself on the list.

Okay, have a grand day..... stay in touch.  I will try to check in with some FW ideas soon.
