March Birthday Gals - I took two envelopes of candies to the Post Office today! Hopefully the weather up there will not cause delay.
I haven't worked on my collection of 2.5's as of yet. The Sewing Studio asked me to make store samples with the new Easter fabric. I selected a table runner and 4 placemats with Fabric from Henry Glass. All finished and kits have been made for sale.
My Great Grands requested zippered notebook pouches when they visited in January. They're finished and mailed last week. Currently I'm working on a basket project for a Bridal Shower we're giving for a friend's daughter on Saturday. Biscotti just came out of the oven and more baking to do on Friday. The kitchen smells amazing, but my sewing room misses me!
Pollen is at an all time high here! I pity those that have allergies! The cars have a yellow coating as well as all the roofs in the area. Trees are flowering and new leaves are coming on! It really looks like Spring here!

You are one busy gal this week, month or has it been a busy year! Although I don't react strongly to tree and flower pollen, I know so many that do. I try to always put my car in the garage when the pine trees are "blooming" and shedding yellow dust all over every thing in my neighborhood. Yuck.
Be patient and some 2.5 pattern will snatch your eye and and away you will go about making stunning works out of 2.5s.
I have already picked out my next project to do as soon as I finish the Star Trails. It was a quilt along here on the board years ago and I so enjoy the quilt I have. Time to make a new one in a different color way. Keep in touch.

WMUTeach, I rarely get on my laptop but guess I will have to for next 2.5 day. I have used your same method in the past to post pictures but I thought there had to be some way to do so from a cell phone. Oh well, I’ll post my pictures next month. I have several that are for charity.

Absolutely you can post from an iPhone! I do it all the time but it’s a multi step process. My email is in my signature. I can share the steps with you on how I do it but you must have photos smaller than some iPhones take them. If you already know how to shrink them using an email to yourself, you’re way ahead of the game.

Funny story: I was feeling enterprising last night and started taking screenshots of the process on my phone so I could post a lil tutorial. Then realized of course I can’t embed the photos stepwise in my comment, they’d just be attached, so I need to send the photos to my computer to make the tutorial a document I can share on here lollllll. I was laughing at myself pretty hard.

Woozers, all! So many have sent envelopes to our March birthday swappers. Whoo Hoo! And some envelopes have even begin arriving. Thrilled to have such marvelous swappers in our group. Yay, you!
Winter has returned too the mitten state, but with less of a vengeance than a few weeks ago. Just cold and gloomy. I saw a report this week that one of first signs of spring is an eruption of "snow flees". Yes, we have harmless snow flees in a town near me so that affirms that spring is on its way. I have never heard of them before either.

Cowboygirl, I was cleaning out my sewing room and found your birthday card in my stack of envelopes. My apologies for overlooking it. Glad you like the candies.
