Spring Will Come

 How do you turn this...

and this 

into springtime?

 By playing a mental game

of imagining these colors and

fields of tulips

and then sewing

Fields of Tulips
50" x 64"

2014

these rows of

spring time colors.

I stitched on the binding Saturday 

as the snow continued to fall.

It may not be tulip weather here yet,

but my rows of colors are done.

I started this simple springtime mood enhancer

a few weeks ago, HERE, using 

strips of fabrics rather than triangles.

The backing fabric
was no gray winter day either,

This is a great print by Riley Blake
called Sidewalks by October Afternoon.
It definitely made me feel happy.

This fast and easy quilt was the 

perfect positive image 

I needed to push the winter doldrums away.
 I'm starting to feel like spring isn't too far off.

Until Next Time-
