I love spring with it's lovely soft colors as new growth emerges. But along with spring comes the Spring Battle Plan....how best to attack the gardens and I do have gardens - I actually even like gardening.

Spring 2012 Garden Battle Plan

Main Garden

Shade Garden

Beach Garden

New shrub, Sorbaria Sorbifolia 'Sem"

Five yards of mulch spread, 1 new tree and 5 new shrubs planted. I'm whipped! But more importantly, I'm DONE! (at least for now). So back to our regularly scheduled quilting!

I finished the tutorial for my Rose Window block

I'm currently hosting my second Quilty Embellishment Day linky party with guest blogger Jenny @ Sew Kind of Wonderful. The link is open until next Tuesday (5/22) and every linker is automatically entered to win two spools of metallic thread.

I'm also hosting TGIFF (Thank Goodness It's Finished Friday) this Friday. This is a great chance to show off all of your finished WIPs!  Challenge yourself this week and stop by to link up or just see what everyone else got done!




I'm madly trying to finish my storybook quilt in time for the Spring 2012 Bloggers Quilt Festival over at Amy's Creative Side. If you haven't heard of the Bloggers Quilt Festival you really need to check it out. Bloggers across the quilty blogishere link up and show off one of their favorite quilts. I think last fall there were over 600 entries.

Just need to finish hand stitching the binding.
