WIP Wednesday 3.9.22

It's been a slower week quilty wise.  We had a couple of warm days in the 60's and we have been playing outside getting the much needed vitamin D.  But I do have a few things to share.

 I made a cute little quilt to hang above the door of my quilting area.  I joined in on the fun for challenge #5 of Project Quilting.  This challenge was Rhythm & Repetition.  Hence the hearts in a row.  The hearts were inspired by a QA that Bonnie Hunter posted about on her blog.


We also had a day of snow-covered ground.  (It's spitting snow today again after being 70 a couple of days ago...  Welcome to Ohio...). I'm happy to be able to take another item off of my WIP list. 
Stay Centered is a free pattern that is available as a free pattern download  on the APQS site here.

  I made a few more Ice Lollies quilt blocks this weekend.  Ice Lollies Quilt pattern is by Latifah Saafir.


Here are some photos of our fun in the mud.


We are changing the chicken/garden area.  This berry barn that used to be where my husbands grandparents sold fruit at the end of the drive is being moved again.  It's such a cute and sentimental shed.



The building has been moved.  Now I need to work on the plants when the snow isn't flying.  It won't be long until all of this stuff is green.  :)


Of course we took a selfie before we got all muddy.


I'm linking up at Quilt Fabrication for Midweek Makers.

It won’t be long before spring arrives I’m sure you are more than ready for it. Your blue and yellow hearts look so pretty.

Would love to have more land and chickens, but I am grateful I have my own home. Love all the work you got done. I am trying hard to figure out how to organize and clean up my fabric.

An ATV and mud sound like a lot of fun! It is going to warm up and with all the moisture everything should be greening up quick!

What a fantastic photo of Stay Centered on the snow.
It sounds you all had fun in the mud.
