Well, today is the second day! Mine is tomorrow. I thought I’d put up pictures and links to my top two favorite bags of the day. Everyone’s bags are awesome, it’s just that these really appealed to me as something I would make. Check them out and please go visit all the wonderful ladies in today’s offerings!

Here’s the list for the ladies for today:
Enjoy!
Well, Mdme Samm has done it again! She sucked me into another blog hop. I couldn’t help myself, the project was just too cute! Come back to see my creation on Friday. In the meantime, please go give some love to all of these wonderful ladies today:
Living in Michigan, it has been a very, very long winter. Yesterday was our first “real” spring day. It was lovely! It got into the mid-sixties and it was so awesome to finally open the windows and blow out all the stale winter air from the house! I even have a couple of pictures to prove that Mother Nature has finally shaken off her mantle of cold in my neck of the woods.

…and my first Crocus of the season!
Looking at this picture, I can see that I need to get some weeding done. I’m so bad about that. But, it will make the flowers look so much better. I can’t wait for my Daffodils to bloom!!!
In my Husband’s family there is a tradition of making a quilt comprised of quilt blocks made by family members for a newly married couple. The quilt is gifted at the bridal shower to the bride-to-be. Mine, which I received 27 years ago, is, well, to put it nicely…ugly. The block my Mother made is very pretty though. She did an embroidery piece, which really means a lot, because, my Mom doesn’t like to embroider even though she did a lovely job.
As a result of my seriously ugly quilt (some of the blocks look like they were pieced with old clothes…blech…), I have always made a point of making the blocks I create for the quilts that much nicer.
My favorite Niece, whose wedding I will be in this summer…great story, I’ll tell you about it later…wants a vintage theme for her quilt. So, here is my answer to the “perfect” block for it:
It is a hand appliqué block from a freebie by Erin Russek over at One Piece at a Time. I love her patterns! I think my Niece will be pleased!
Well this is the last day of our hop! It was fun to do and I really look forward to doing another one in the future! Thanks to Mdm Samm and to Jane Remus for organizing it!!!
