And several Qu(ilts) I(n) P(ackets)! These are ones I have the stuff for,
all sorted and bagged and ready, but haven't yet cut.


Oh, so *that's* what they're called. I have a bunch of those, too. grin
Usually because I haven't really decided on a pattern.

You guys are killing me with all this talk of spring!

We are having rain, rain, rain, rain, rain! sigh. OK, a couple weeks
ago we had snow, but mostly it's been rain, wind, thunder and lightening
and hail. Sniffle, I want spring! Sheesh, it I wanted to live with
this kind of weather I could move to Portland, or Seattle or something
;-)

The color outside is grey with a coating of mud. phooey.

Oh, I even have the book in one of the bags! All bought together for a
'stack & slash' quilt.

All shades of lime green,(if that makes sense) and of course after the
creamy yellow of primroses and yellow of Daffodils there is the glorious
Blue bells! My Daffs are about 4 weeks late this year.Just opening!
Glorious time of year.My favorite!

I actually have a quilt where the lime green, just a bit in the quilt
and the narrow binding, actually toned down the colors. BG works
wonderfully well for that.

Barns? Here it's houses! We are on cesspool drainage... Mains drains
do not reach some parts of Kent! The 'honey wagon' is what empties the
pool... Later on we get the '**** bills' for the privilege! When the
council emptied it, the bills came on 'cheap loo roll pink' paper, and
so were ever named!

That is funny, Kate! I can't wait to read it to DH. He works at a
waste water facility so you know he'll get a chuckle out of the pink
bills.

Hey Georg, I don't know what you mean by honey wagons but I don't
think what we refer to as honey wagons as a sign of Spring.
What is your definition for a honey wagon?

Around here a lot of newer barns are built with a manure pit under the
animals; the manure falls through a grate into the manure pit, where it
starts to decompose and liquify. Several times a year, the manure is
pumped out of the pit, into a "honey wagon" and spread on the fields.
This is usually done in the spring, after the weather warms up a bit and
before the fields are planted. The rotted manure has a very strong
smell, stronger than fresh manure; hog manure is much stinkier than cow
manure, too. I can see why the smell of a honey wagon would be a sign of
spring, though it would not have been something I would have thought of

Carol:
New grass green, of course. Yellow for
daffodils and forsythia. Deep mauve for the
lovely Red Bud trees. White for the Bradford
Pears. Cherry blossom pink. That's how Spring
looks in Virginia.

Hi everyone:
With the weather beginning to warm up here in New Hampshire and
anticipating the gorgeous spring colors to follow, I am itching to
create a new wall quilt featuring spring colors. Yellow, purple and
green are on the top of my list, but I am also wondering what color
combinations make others think of spring.
So, what does spring look like to you?
All the best,
