Quartered

I have the first quarter of the piece almost done.  I really like the look of it so far.

Egged

 I finished my purple egg.  I think it came out pretty well.

On To The Border

After finally getting the corner motif finished, I'm working on the bottom border now.  I'm feeling the pressure of starting this so late.

After The Tulips

 The daffodils started blooming a good ten days after the tulips.  I don't know what was up with that.  Anyway, the daffodils look beautiful, and you can see the tulips are already past their peak.

Looks Like Forest

I think this sampler is filling out nicely and is getting much closer to being done.  It's well balanced, too, and I think it'll make a very beautiful pillow.

April Fool's Flowers

On April first, we had a lovely day and the tulips opened up for the first time.  Then we had two weeks of cold again!  The tulips never really recovered their beauty after that first day, so they got fooled.  At least I got the pictures on the right day.

Springy Temari

Ana picked this pattern out of a temari book for us to do.  There was just a picture of a ball without instructions.  We're figuring it out as we go.  In the end, there will be four daffodil flowers on the ball.
