March Madness

Hello everyone! I am sitting here, with my coffee, the kids glued to the t.v. watching a family movie. All is quiet, at least for now.
I have been busy putting in tons of hours with the ambulance service. I also finished re-doing the girls' room. I painted it a peach tone with minimal green trim. I used colors gleaned from April Cornells' Poetry Collection fabric by Moda. I then made curtains with this fabric and the room looks great! Paige and Summer (my daughters) love it, as do I, and it is a room that will grow with them.
Next I will tackle the living room, well, after dear husband has installed the new window.
New in my quilty world, is the Pleated Log cabin block using Moda "Jelly rolls" (if you so choose). I like the block and over all look of the quilt. It says folk art to me. There is some time involved with the folding of the fabric but the finished look is intriguing. Look for this class in the month of April at Brambleberries.
I am nearly finished with my "I spy" quilt. Just a few more places to tie (no, I am not quilting it, a first for me) and then the binding! There are only two more classes left for "I spy" so please don't miss out on the fun, bring in what you have been working on, and share with your class!
We meet on Wednesday the 28th, see you there!
My personal project list keeps getting bigger and bigger! I see what other quilters are working on and those ideas just start hopping. Check out what Judy is doing in her studio at this webshots link: http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/photo/1225081929056947851DgCJcM
Judy is a regular poster on the wwqp blogspot and a very talented lady!
It is hard to believe that Easter is nearly here! However if this means that we may get some warm weather, and the snow will melt then I am all for it!

the girls room sounds so pretty. I'd love to see what that fabric looks like. I bet it is gorgeous.

Told you I'd visit your blog!

I'm wanting to do an I spy quilt for our youngest daughter. She has speech delays and I thought it would be a fun way to teach her new words as she's learning to talk.

Happy quilting!
