Unpredictable March

Here in northeastern Minnesota,
March seems to be coming in as a cross between a lamb and a lion.
Although our snow has been fast disappearing with the newly felt warmth of the
rising sun, our highest temperatures are still not reaching above freezing.
I'm spending time alternating
between the schedules required to properly start garden seeds and perusing the quilt catalogs both in-hand and online while oohing and aahing over the new spring/summer lines of
fabric.
I currently have a couple (okay,
a few if I were to be totally honest) baby quilts in progress that I plan on
finishing this month. But, as a treat to myself, I've started a full-sized
quilt using Civil War reproduction inspired fabrics, and I'm getting so much
enjoyment watching it grow on my design wall!
Many of you in warmer parts of
the country are already putting seeds in your garden or spending more time
outside. Truth to tell, in our part of the woods, we can most assuredly
plan on this month being more like winter than spring. But you can bet
the first day that it's warm enough, I'll take some hand quilting and sit on
our south-facing deck to enjoy stitching while soaking up some sunshine.
I hope you can find time this
month to check out my quilting blog as I write about and post pictures of my current projects. And, if you leave a comment, I'll be sure to stop by your blog to see what you're up to!
