Spring is my favorite season. Perennials in my garden bloom and I don't have to do anything to make that happen. They are the perfect flowers for those of us who lack a green thumb. Right now my yellow and purple iris are blooming like little girls dancing in my garden, their heads held high, swaying in the breeze.

Today is usually my least favorite day of April. . . .You know, April 15, tax day. But this year we have an extension to file until July, and you can be sure I am taking advantage of that extension.
But this year several things have made the day better. The weather is fine, my federal assistance check was direct deposited, and I am working up some new designs.

I know, it is not officially spring yet here in Kansas, but the daffodils are starting to bloom and my iris, tulips, and other assorted green things are popping up. The grass is greening up in the yard and the dog's favorite spots to pee are big yellow gaps in the grass. The squirrels are nesting in the trees, making the dog bark, and the song birds are happily singing and crapping Reeze Hansonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08699081923025372108noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7324438416051074736.post-13372522320749089212020-03-18T12:32:00.000-05:002020-03-18T18:10:01.608-05:00

I am working on developing some new classes this year. Since I am focus more on teaching than on vending I wanted some new and different workshop options for guilds and shops.
The first is one I have been tossing around for a long time. I love teaching my Merry Go Round quilt because it has so many setting options, and is so easy to make.

Did you ever design something and you thought it was dumb but others liked it? Well that is sort of how I feel about the latest designs I submitted to a fabric manufacturer. I realize they probably selected it among the designs I submitted because it showcased their fabric better than the other designs, which personally, I thought were better. Oh well.
What do you think?
