March - BOMs

Hi Everyone, well it's been a long few weeks but I did manage to eek out a couple of hours to sew. I first got the Tisket-A-Tasket basket for March done and then tried to do the hand embroidery. I still need lots and lots of practice on this hand embroidery stuff. I guess I'll just have to have Yvette teach me (check out her blog). Anyway, I did love the yellow bunny on this block.



I also was able to escape for a bit and meet Yvette at Joy's house to work on our Home is Where the Heart Is block of the month. I simply loved this month's block. I don't know why but I've tried to pick fabrics for the theme of the month and this block reminded me of Easter so I just had to pick pastel colors.






I wasn't sure about the border piece at the bottom with the kites so I took this block with me to class at Cozy Cottage and asked Ms. Janet to help me decide. I think we did pretty good ! It's a very, very pastel lavender color..nice and soft.





I especially loved the little kids on this block. They are just adorable as well and I'm trying really hard to get my hand embroidery down for this quilt. Check out the bunny too !!!













I can't wait to work on April's blocks.
Well, as most of you know, Craig came home from the rehab facility on March 13th. Snoopy decided to catch a snooze with Craig and I just had to snap this pic. Too cute, Snoopy !!!
Love to all my family and friends

Your hand stitching is GORGEOUS - I don't think you need lessons on anything! I love your BOM blocks, they are just PERFECT!
