Hi! Here are a few new things for my house this season!

If you have some you'd like to show off, post them here!

Table topper and Floral arrangement... I'll take the pink and purple out after Easter and have a regular bouquet!

Mantel scarf (Lois Fletcher design). Happy with the FMQ on this one.

Wonderful - so cheerful. I've been thinking of doing a mantle scarf. Did you use a pattern?

It was in a book by Lois Fletcher. The crocuses are paper pieced to make a 3.5" block. Triangles added to make it on point and then the set in triangles added. Make the shelf part to fit your own mantle.

It was sewn and turned so there was no binding... a very quick project.

Do you get the Connecting Threads catalogue? This one was pictured in the catalogue and made a 60" quilt. Mine is a little over 2 feet square I think. I used 1.5" strips in a five strip
strip set. Cut them to 3.5X5.5 and add 1.5" white squares to the corners. Add 1.5" white strip to the sides to make a 5.5" block. Alternate blocks and you're done!
