This is how I see March and she has not failed even on her first day of arrival. A tease of sun, then blowing cold followed by snow lest we forget it is still Winter. Hopefully the adage 'in like a Lion, out like a Lamb' will be our blessing.
For my March 'Let's Book It' project I have pulled an old Debbie Mumm pattern that a quilt guild member gifted me a few years ago. My official choice is the Goose wallhanging, but I love the Kitties, too. So I think I will be making both of these and then I can pass the pattern on to someone else.
Then there are the RSC15 blocks to make. The color is Yellow and to mix those hues of yellow. I immediately thought of the first sight of yellow we see - our hedgerow of Forsythia followed shortly after by the Daffodils. Most of our Daffs are white with orange centers, but a few yellows gifted from the neighbors via the squirrels do pop up here and there.
I want to finish the quilting on this piece. The hanging sleeve and binding are waiting.
And I totally forgot about the 9-Patch and Snowball sew along. Geesh!! All the blocks are made - it is just about getting them into rows for this month. Although I could get a spurt and urge to finish it right up.
And I must really try to take the time to slow down and join in the Slow Sunday Stitching with the flowers.
I am keeping my list short, hoping that there will be some of that sun in March so I can get some outdoor time.
Sewingly Yours,
Sharon

Keeping my fingers crossed that you see a lot more sun and real flowers.
I love the Indian quilt - the colors are stunning. I hope you get more sun - we are today, but freezing rain tomorrow. Guess I'd better get to Joann Fabrics today, not going out tomorrow!!

It looks like you have another busy month ahead. I hope the sun shines soon for you so you can get outside.
I love that saying at the top...it's so true! I love your snowball blocks too! That was my problem...I got the urge to just keep sewing and I already have a top made! LOL
March came in like a lamb here , yikes . Lots of great plans for March , look forward to seeing your progress.
March has been dismal here so far. But I know that by the end of the month, it should be much nicer!
You are going to be busy. Can't wait to see your projects all done.
Sounds just like our day yesterday. The sun was shining so bright, but the wind felt bitterly cold. Very cute kitties and geese! Love the floral bookmarks.
Lots of pretty stuff on tap in March. Hopefully spring will make an appearance soon. We are supposed to get freezing rain, sleet, then snow starting sometime after midnight, running till tomorrow afternoon sometime.
We are getting another cold front in Texas as I type it. was in the 70s earlier today....now in the 30s.
