Hello Quilty Friends!
Happy Thursday to you!
Well, I’m happy that spring is finally here in NW PA. I think it’s here, anyway. Sometimes it’s hard to tell.
Tulips, Daffodils, and Crocuses are blooming which is a welcome burst of color against our still dreary winter landscape. The trees are just staring to wake up a little bit, but we won’t have full leafy coverage until the end of April into May. Spring weather here is also quite unpredictable — we’ve already had a few days in the 70’s, but we’ve still gotten a bit of snow. And rain. And hail. Even with its craziness, spring is definitely one of my favorite seasons.
Spring also gets me re-energized for quilting with spring colors, Easter, flowers, birds, blue skies with fluffy clouds, baby animals…I could keep going but you get the idea. Spring is all about renewal, so go ahead and welcome the season in your quilting world, too.
YAY! Lucky you! I created a fun Spring Fling Bingo download to help you enjoy the season. Please download the PDF below and have fun completing the 20 spring ideas!
Now let’s have a pattern shower for April! Because a collection of Spring quilts will surely brighten your day and give you some Spring inspiration. It certainly inspired me as I put it together.
A Curated List of VRD Rose Card Quilt Patterns for April
If you’re a blog follower, you might have seen my Curated Spring List from last year, so instead of repeating that lovely collection of patterns, I thought I’d create a new collection of patterns just for April. And April means showers, rainbows, Easter, gardening, babies, and….
You can’t have a rainbow without the rain.
