Three things to be happy about:
(1) padded envelopes
(2) learning a new exercise
(3) Spring
Spring is just around the corner, what does Punxsutawney Phil know, anyhow?
I'm in my lazy stage again!
Remember this string quilt that I was puzzling over ... add a border, don't add a border, what kind of border ...
Thanks everyone for your input!
I grabbed some light colored strings - not necessarily neutral, but lighter than darkish medium - and made a few of these ...
... which I cut into these 3-1/2 x 8-1/2" strips, to test as a border.
I tried out a few and I admit I wasn't too impressed at first.
I was thinking if I went that route I'd need to add a narrow inner border to separate the main quilt from the 3" border strips ...
But now, looking at it through the camera's lens from a different angle ... it doesn't look half bad!
Maybe I'll make enough string units to finish up that left side and a few for the top, and see what it looks like.
Decisions, decisions ...
Sew forth and sew on

Mid-Atlantic Quilt Festival
Here we are in March already! Mr. Groundhog doesn't know everything, does he??
I'm sharing more photos from the quilt show last week. It was such a nice show that I wish I could bundle up the entire thing in my arms and share it with you!
Hexies, anyone? I'm not a hexie person but I can appreciate the skill that went into these...

What would a quilt show be without Baltimore album quilts...
Making a statement ...
The label reads: "Only when the LAST TREE HAS DIED and the LAST RIVER BEEN
POISONED and the LAST FISH BEEN CAUGHT will we realize
WE CANNOT EAT MONEY - Native American saying
AND WE CANNOT DRINK OIL - Quiltmaker"
I love the background texture on this one ...
And the back has a pleasant surprise:
Diva and ... diva?
This one is a favorite, I love scrappy...
... and houses, of course!
Quilted phrases ... "liar liar, pants on fire!"
ABC challenge - I can relate to this one...
A member of my guild, Adrienne R., made this one!
These were fascinating - leather!
Is that enough for now? Yeah! Sew forth and sew on...
