Quiltingkrazy, your DQ is finished and ready for posting but I am holding it back until tomorrow (Wednesday) as it is going to hang in a little display where our Premier will be visiting It will be in the post for sure on Thursday. Had a lot of fun doing this DQ.

In New England the prime color of spring is brown. Up here spring is also known as mud season. Typically we do not see green until late April early May - So brown is a spring color!!!

Today I received my beautiful quilt from Judith! And it is a beauty! "Paducah Dogwood" all in colors of Spring! The centers of the blossoms are beaded-all the fabrics are gorgeous. Thank you so much!
Also Judith sent me......a turtle needle-case!! I've admired them every time I seen one posted from Judith! It has thread, scissors, and a packet of needles included with a baby pin-cushion turtle. Lots of hand work with metallic threads! I am over the moon.[ATTACH=CONFIG]321074[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]321075[/ATTACH]And here is a fun picture of my youngest grand, Kip, whom I found carefully poking pins in and out of the recent pin cushion I received from SewExtreme-isn't he cute and yes, I watched him carefully!![ATTACH=CONFIG]321077[/ATTACH]
I have received a whole year of special quilts from special friends-thanks to all! Nancy.

Hi everyone. I have arrived in Melbourne, Australia safely. I have already taken the tram out to one of the shops that Lynnnie told me about. I got there and I could see signs up......closed. I thought OH Dear. The windows was covered too so I started worrying that maybe it went out of business. When I got there none of that was what I had thought. It was closed for the day, except for classes because the owner was sick. But someone inside saw me standing there and opened the door. I told her where I was from and she asked the proprietors Hubby if I could come in and look. He said YES. So he even let me buy some material. I got the most beautiful aborigini (spelling) material and some feed sack prints. I will probably return there sometime during my Visit. He also gave me a list of other places to check out that were closer to where I live. Gotta love the Australians....they are so nice.
I showed my GD the doll quilts that I am making for March and April. The one for April has appliques on it and my 7 yr old GD wants to help me put them on. I kinda of winced inside thinking how well could a 7 year old do but I am going to let her try one. So if Lynnie and I are matched for April, I am sure she will be delighted to get the doll quilt not only done by me but my darling GD. She is my only GD and she is my artsy crafty girl. She loves the I spy quilt that I made for them and promptly asks me is she can make a small I spy quilt. Gotta love that enthusiasm.

I am sorry but did I miss a mud quilt????? I know that Vermont, NH and maybe Maine have mud season in the spring. I think there is some kind of sport that they do called mudding and they ride through it or something like that.

Brenda; your quilt is so pretty and so perfect for you! The colors go well together, you received such a thoughtful quilt from Donna and the matching mugrug is great, too. The quilts are full of creativity this month.
