April Fool's Day

Was our weather fooling us yesterday or what?? We were watching the opening game of the Mariners and wow, wasn't expecting to see hail, and snow! Had it all yesterday. I was sure glad I was sitting here in my nice warm house watching the game. I had my Grandma's Flower Garden quilt top that I've been working on for a number of years in my lap and working on it. Perfect TV or game time project. Maybe this will be the year that I will actually get the top done? I've said that the last couple of years. We'll see. I started collecting fabrics for it when we lived in Mare Island CA- probably around 1992. But didn't cut it out and start sewing until after we moved in here 1998 or 1999. So you can see it's taken me awhile. But it's my hand project and it's very relaxing.
Today has dawned cold -but sunny. I hope the trend for the rest of the week will be to get warmer. My Valentine scrappy bargello is being quilted and the 2nd one I have the panels sewn and will cut out today. I am also working on an old fashioned apron quilt-wallhanging. I'll get that finished by the end of the week as well. Today I'll get it layered and pinned and maybe even start quilting. We'll see.
Time to walk Miss Molly and get busy with my day. Hope you have a wonderful sunny day.
