Spring Has Sprung

The weather has been so lovely here in the South. It is spring and the flowers are blooming like crazy! Early April was filled with azaleas, and now the roses are in bloom. Next up are my spirea bushes (they smell so good, too).

Last week I finished up Pat Sloan's Out of This World block for April. I'm not too happy with my precision on those pesky flying geese for OOTW, but Done is better than Perfect.  Maybe it's time to change that needle. LOL












On Saturday, I finished up my aqua RSC blocks. I am planning on eight colors in these two RSC projects, so that means I am halfway there. I can't wait to see what color Angela picks for May. Maybe pink?
On a higher note, Saturday was gorgeous flying weather so we went up in the air. We hopped to various local airports and filled the airplane with lower-priced fuel. Just like you do with your car, we pilots search for airports with better fuel prices. Airplane fuel (100-octane low lead) is about $1 USD more than auto fuel runs and I usually need at least 20 gallons, so it pays to find the best price.  And it was a great excuse to go flying.  We soared over a nearby lake and watched all the boaters enjoy some time on the water. As for me, I enjoyed my time in the air.  Once again, I was too absorbed in the experience to take pictures to show you. I saved them instead in my memories.

  1. You are right. Done is SEW much better than perfect!!! I wouldn't worry too much about those pesky Flying Geese sections of your Pat Sloan block. If you want perfection, just take a look at those gorgeous AQUA blocks you made for the RSC!!!

    1. Thank you! A lady announced at my Bunco party last night that she was pregnant, so now I know who will receive at least one of my RSC quilts.
