Wrapped up

Finished up a baby quilt for a friend who is due next week... space monkeys!


I figured that as long as I had the flannel out, I might as well finish up the pile of flannel quilts I had started a while back. I quilted and bound three this weekend with a couple more in the pipeline.




And I have one more that isn't flannel-- a double wedding ring that I hand pieced over the winter. I'm hoping to have the binding finished by the weekend.

Birdcage out of the Cage

Birdcage Designs is headed to a market near you! If you're in Richmond, anyway. I'll be setting up the second Saturday of each month at the South of the James market-- check out info here. The market is open from 8am to noon every Saturday, and is chock full of vendors with all kinds of great stuff. The CSA that we belong to, Victory Farms, is there with the most awesome naturally grown vegetables. There are vendors selling baked goods, cheese, eggs, plants, and all kinds of handmade goods as well. So come on down-- I'll be setting up on May 8th!

Here's a detail from a garden apron I just posted on etsy-- it's time to go dig around in the garden and get some more seeds into the ground!

Spring is Springing

The yard is full of flowers, so I've been working on filling my work basket with them, too:


Pins! They have a lock clasp on the back to pin them to your bag, jacket, hat-- whatever you fancy!


More to come in more colors and combinations...
