Popular topics: Chicks & Spring!

My post with photos of the applique chicks and the flowers of spring really attracted viewers! Thank you all for stopping by. Either we're all desperate for spring (probably!), or everyone really likes chicks! My sister, Diana, says I need to work on bunny appliques next.

Besides playing with machine applique, I'm still working on the mystery quilt sponsored by Eleanor Burns. Here's a sneak peek at the current blocks on my design wall (felt fabric tacked to the wall) and border panels that I'm working on for this month:

This hasn't been sewn together yet.

One of the corners finished in the past 2 months.

For those of you who are desperate for spring, here's the latest bouquet:

Camellias & daffies :)

For those who love food, here's the buttermilk dark chocolate cake I'm making for my foreign student's birthday, homemade (even using my own vanilla extract!): 

Yum! Never forget to eat chocolate!

Little Dickens, rest in peace :(

Have a wonderfully creative day, 

whatever your endeavors!
