It's a finish!
Orphan Justine
36 x 48
The top was assembled last November from orphan blocks with mostly purple with touches of yellow and orange. I put some smaller blocks together into larger blocks and framed some blocks so all of my blocks finished at 12 inches. All of the blocks were given to me by different folks.
I quilted it with swirls on my sewing machine.
The back and binding.
And sew on...

A little quilting marathon is going on here in March . Soon I will have boxes of comfort quilts to send off to two of my favorite charities that provide quilts for kids - Wrap-A-Smile (WAS) and Quilts Beyond Borders. (QBB).
Wrap-A-Smile (WAS) partners with Rotaplast International.
Rotaplast International, Inc. is committed to helping children and families worldwide by eliminating the burden of cleft lip and/or palate, burn scarring, and other deformities.
Quilts Beyond Border (QBB) quilts go to many different initiatives both foreign and domestic...foster care, refugees, Indian reservations, orphanages, women's recovery centers...you will just have to go read the QBB blog because I can't remember them all.

A few things are starting to pop up in the gardens. And a few things like my tulips are being eaten by rabbits and deer. We could use some rain because the ground is very dry. I see some predicted for the week starting on Tuesday.
Species tulips
Rhubarb
One sedum that hasn't been nibbled yet. Deer and rabbits must have not seen it while on their rounds.
You can't see them very well but his is my new bed of black and white Tulips in my Perky Goth/Moonlight garden. They have been eaten down by deer or rabbits. I hope to get out to spray with Bobbex today before the rains come.
Iris Reticulata (Dwarf Iris)
Scilla has popped up all over the place.
Another type of species Tulip. The critters missed eating this one!
Crocus around one of the little Gazing Balls the fairies put there.
And sow on...
