The birch trees have finally begun to show their new leaves, and the fields are freshly plowed. The ice cream kiosk is open. I think I can safely say that Spring has officially come to this part of Finland. It is gorgeous!! I love watching the earth come back to life after the long winter under its soft white blanket of snow. We are going to be heading to eastern Finland for a couple days this week, and I will get some pictures to share.<\/p>\n

I finished my quilt panels and sent them off to California last week. I am literally on pins and needles until I know they have arrived safely. I have one more to start but I need to go get more fabric first. With luck, I will be able to work on this while I am on the road. Not to worry, I do have PLENTY of other goodies to work on.<\/p>\n

If you follow my shop, you know that I recently introduced several picture magnets on evenweave. I’ve been working on adding more. Personally, I prefer these to the ones worked on Aida.<\/p>\n

As a refresher, I posted the lavender butterfly comparison above. The evenweave is on the left. Evenweave comes in lots of flavors and colors — this particular one is a lovely 32 count linen from Wichelt.<\/div>\n

So, I have been adding more. Here’s a teaser…<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"IMG_0981\"<\/a>The smaller piece of fabric on top is Aida, and the sheet underneath (with the squirrel) is linen. I get to keep working on this fabric while I am on the road, hopefully, and should have some of these pretty, springtime magnets ready to go into the shop shortly.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

I really want to encourage everyone to visit the Facebook page<\/a> and LIKE it. I will announce sales and specials there more than anyplace else.<\/div>\n
