This is a crazy busy time of year for me. If any of you are involved in church music, you know what I mean. Holy Week and Easter are very hectic. I'll be very tired come Sunday afternoon. In the meantime, I won't have much chance to read blogs or to post on mine.
Here are two gifts I got recently. One is a box with lots of fun goodies in it from Jean (aka Lois). I had responded to her plea for solid scraps and she offered to trade something for them. I told her no......I'd just be happy to see the scraps go to a good home. She sent me this nice box of goodies anyway......it was a fun surprise. I am especially excited about the spool of Invisifil thread as I've heard great things about that. Sorry the photo is turned sideways...guess you'll get some neck exercise when you look at it!
Then....a fairly new neighbor gave me 4 really nice-smelling (and gentle) organic, homemade soaps shaped like Easter eggs that she made. She said it was a thank-you for making her feel welcome as the "new kid on the block". I love the soaps and think I'll be buying soaps from her now.
After Easter, I'll be sandwiching and quilting the quilt for the guest bedroom. I showed it in progress a few posts back. Here is is finished and below that is the crazy-pieced backing for it. I'm happy with it and hope I can do some simple quilting on it that will look nice.

Hi Pat yes I do know how busy Easter is. I use to be in the choir at my church then it got to political and I just wanted to sing so I bowed out gracefully. Enjoy the reason for the season and your family.....
