One Marvelous March

It hasn't been easy to stay indoors this month and quilt. It's been an unusually warm month here and I have enjoyed getting some yard work done early this year. I have spent little time at either sewing machine, but managed to make these stars that I used for a demo. This was not part of the plan to use those yummy orange fabrics I showed a few weeks back. That plan is still pending.

Besides the yard work I still try to get a walk in once in a while. This photo was taken from my neighbors yard.  The willow trees are now more green than yellow. My house is behind the willow on the left in the midst of this wildlife sanctuary. The spring peepers (frogs) have been making all kinds of racket in the marsh for the last week. They chirp at night and many of the birds are back and singing all day. I wish I knew which birds song sounds just like my land-line telephone ringing.


It is supposed to be warm for another week and I plan to be busy. I hope I can get a few hours in stitching.

I like the colors and the stars. I love triangles!

I'm not sure where you live but would it be a mockingbird? Years ago my brother got a new alarm clock and the next spring a mockingbird was imitating it.
