Craving Color












































































Good morning!  I have had a whirlwind of a few days visiting friends and attending the wedding of the daughter of some dear friends of mine.  Saturday happened to be one of the worst snowy days of the season but many of us braved the elements to attend a most elegant and Christ-centered event.  I had gone in early to spend time with friends and my husband was getting the train to come in to join me. As he was waiting at the station, the train hit a car at the stop before his.  Understandably, the train was delayed several hours and he could not attend.  As beautiful as the snow is, it is equally as dangerous. I'm ready for spring.  The new issue of American Patchwork and Quilting was waiting for me when I got home and I opened to find this lovely quilt in all it's festive colors.  It goes well with the flowers I purchased and the yarn just delivered from Purl Soho.  You can tell this northern girl is craving color and warm weather from that first picture!  I also couldn't resist a layer cake of Downton Abbey fabric and yardage of the cream.  I knew if I didn't get some it would be gone and I'd be mad at myself.  I hope you are having a lovely start to your week.  Blessings!

Joyfully,

  1. LOVE that yarn ... went to the Purl Soho website and had a nice time. What kind of yarn is that and the colorway? LOVE it!! I didn't think I liked the Downton Abbey fabric at first but the more I look at it the more it grows on me. Might have to revisit it ... thanks for a lovely post. Sunshine here in Northern Michigan ... so wonderful to see!
