Happy Almost Spring!

My Daffodils are in bloom and the Cherry, Star Magnolia, and Tulip trees are looking lovely.

Such a strange time of year as we bounce from 10 inches of snow to 75 degrees and down to freezing from day to day.

I have been busy! I reproduced my Margaret Hughes 1771 Ten Commandment Sampler and sent it off to Karen for stitching, then hustled and charted two samplers for MESDA Margaret Mutter 1793 and Ann Clair Tinges 1798 all in February!

The two MESDA samplers will be available on March 20 when I am teaching for MESDA during the "Stars, Stripes, and Stitches" event.

I am skipping the Nashville Market this year because I will be flying to teach in Maine for the Southern Maine EGA Spring Getaway Seminar March 11-16, teaching at MESDA March 20, presenting a lecture and class for the Western Reserve Sampler Guild March 28, and traveling to Charlotte to teach for Carolina Sampler Guild in April. Adding Nashville would have been too much but I will sure miss seeing my designer friends. 

The printing can be picked up tomorrow and I have stacks of linens and silks downstairs right now waiting on me to kit them up. Classes include my Scottish Castle Etui, Spring & Autumn Thread Keep, (2 classes), Sampler Stories Huswif, and Quaker Sewing Bag & Needle Book. The lecture is "Antique Sewing Tools & Treasures". 

I failed in my goal of producing a You Tube the first Saturday of each month because I missed February. The first Saturday of March will be dedicated to my annual double birthday family Enchilada Dinner. Jenny, Laura, and I will be busy making them together, always a fun thing!

Maybe I can You Tube on Sunday!

Take care of yourselves and be kind to each other. Chaos reigns out in the world and we need to find safe harbors in our friends. There will be snow on the ground in Maine when I am there but spring is coming! 

Hugs!
