Quilting for Angela, Anne, Dorothy & Pam

Hello Quilty Friends!

Is spring in full force or what? Every year at this time I forget how changeable the weather can be. 

Cold, hot (or is that just my hot flushes?), rainy, windy, you name it seems to happen & I forget that this is perfectly normal spring weather.

 If you know me even a tiny wee bit, I'm sure you know winter is my favourite season - BUT spring is  special to me too because everything in the garden & nature comes alive! There are some beautiful flowers blooming in my garden. Speaking of beautiful, grab a comfy seat & checkout my clever, creative customers BEAUTIFUL quilts:

I'm at the back hiding 😀

There's me in the green top!

Now having a hubby that is a school teacher has meant there are frequent holidays. Over the years I use to carry on working with maybe a week off here & there, but now days I find myself taking the same time off too. I must confess I have come to enjoy it! 

Below is a montage of some recent holiday happenings:

 I hope you all had a good Easter break, here in the north island of New Zealand there was a wild storm. Sadly we had a our beautiful red Rhododendron blown over & broken by high winds & no power for 24hrs. The Easter bunny was reported to still get through, although not to my house??

I've managed a few knitting projects too & reading!

Until next time, take care & happy creating.

Leeanne.
