Spring Flowers

 

 

 

Here are my spring bulb flowers in my front flower bed: the grape hyacinths, daffodils, and you will have to imagine the pink tulips. The deer think the tulips are their candy and have left only chewed up leaves. Next year I will have to get them covered with netting as soon as they peek out of the ground!

It's been a long time since my last blog post, and this is the reason why - the raffle quilt for the guild that I was in charge of this year! The past month or so I have been focused on getting it done, hand quilted. I've had guild members at my house to work on it 2 or 3 times a week and I've worked on it most evenings. The show was March 27 and 28; the raffle ticket sales brought in over $2900!! I'll be posting more regularly now, I've a lot to catch up on.
