march

I know it’s starting to feel like spring for many of you, but for Coloradans, March looks like this:

So it was under the influence of all of this snow and cold that I pulled together this perfectly acceptable in stack form fabric grouping.

The one that later drove me to drink.  I sewed the solids together in strips and planned to have the birds running vertically down one side.  This looked terrible.  So I’m keeping the strips for a different quilt (promoted from the back to the front!) even though it’s a bit MUCH, and trying a redo of the birds.  Edna Elizabeth took my drinking to heart and stopped working after my blog post the other night, so I’ve been waiting to take her into the shop.  Except when I called the second time their over-the-phone trouble shooting worked and Edna is a happy camper again.  Apparently she’s just a bit of a prudish teetotaler.
