I Love Spring

What's not to love about springtime? April showers lead to flowers even before May. The trees are beginning to leaf out. The weather is warmer. And vacation season is beginning.  <sigh> I need a vacation.

As for quilting, this is what I accomplished since my last post:
1. Dropped off two quilts to be longarmed (Sapphire Stars and Mesa Valley).
2. Began binding my Grand Illusion quilt.
3. Finished the flimsy of Autumn Stars from the November 2017 Sew Sampler fat quarter pack.

Also, I'm ready to begin work on a quilt guild challenge "A traditional block in a non-traditional way". I went searching and decided on Grandma's Flower Garden SPHERE.  This quilt can be found at HERE.

Philosophical note of the day.... In a book I read recently, I saved this quote:  "I believe that our actions affect every person we met, even those we encounter only briefly. The sum of all our actions, good or bad, is our legacy." So true.  It may be your smile that brightens someone's day. It may be your "Hello" that chases away someone's loneliness. Or your impatience creates frustration which snowballs into an argument with a family member. I think our actions bounce into people like that little ball in a pinball machine.

On a higher note, springtime showers have prevented me from flying the last few weekends, but Sunday evening was perfect.  Low wind, deep blue skies, and mild temperatures made it perfect. So I went flying around the area, landing at several local airports. My first approach was low and the landing rather hard, but the other two were great. I blew the spiderwebs off the plane and now it's time to plan a longer trip for my next flight.

So what are you working on this spring?
