March is Here...

...and with March comes Spring Break for college students. Reid is flying out for a visit and we are really looking forward to seeing him again. Sadly, Melissa isn't able to come this time. But while Reid is here, we are going to Arizona and spending a day or two with Ashley. It will be so nice to have our two children together again.

Also this month, Reid and Scott will be celebrating their birthdays.

This month's button up quilt was a challenge. The pattern had a big Easter Bunny with a basket of eggs. I didn't want to do that, but I did do it for April so you'll see it next month. The April one had six panels. Three with tulips and three with bunny heads. I liked March's much better for Easter. I thought March should have kites and shamrocks. So, I did that. Made up my own pattern and just did it. I really like how it came out.

I also just finished the first of the two quilts I bought the pattern and material for while in Hawaii. It's called a Herd of Turtles. I'll post it as soon as we get it hung in the Hawaii bedroom.

Also this month, in fact this coming weekend, I have several quilts in the local quilt show. They asked me to submit some so I am. They don't judge them, it is just a show and I'm looking forward to going and seeing what others are doing. Also, later in the month, Crystal (local quilt store owner) asked me to go to the quilt show in Price and help her with her vendor booth. I'm really excited about doing that.

Rick continues to go jeepin' most weekends and sometimes it is both Sat. and Sun. He's really enjoying it and it is such a great group of people. Sometimes he even remembers to take a camera! I leave those posts for him as I don't go (I get to stay home and quilt while he's gone).
