If it makes you think of spring, so much the better. Being snowed in isn't ALL bad, is it?<br />I'm horrified at Kim's info that victims of the cyclone won't get help from insurance. What the heck is insurance for? I hope we can all move beyond the present disasters and get on with shoveling or clean up and then get back to the pleasures of stitching.Marionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05196020487971921675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5438520712984321582.post-74386011102075682602011-02-03T05:43:58.723-05:002011-02-03T05:43:58.723-05:00Beautiful Marion!

I'm glad you are enjoying the process.The other one that is a bit pesky would be the cactus flower basket.<br />So far, no one has been killed in the cyclone, a lot of damaged properties though. Mostly uninsured because the insurance companies don't cover these things apparently. May be they only do nice clement weather when all is well!<br />I saw on TV all the snow in the US, loooks pretty but don't fancy the snow shovelling though!<br />It's been very hot & have lived with the air con for a few days now. <br />Hang in there everyone, do lots of applique till all these nasties come to pass.

His/her wings are great and the tail! love your fabric choice for this bird. Keep up the good work, being snowed in will give you plenty of sewing time, that's got to be a plus? take care.<br />greetings from Holland, where spring thinks it's time to make an appearance.Lorenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16711289084196945424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5438520712984321582.post-32374180302482084692011-02-02T23:41:46.104-05:002011-02-02T23:41:46.104-05:00Your colour choices are so beautiful Marion!

I have lived here for 22 years and our road is blocked with snow drifts about 6ft high, this is the first time that has happened. Guessing we got about 12"+ snow. I feel for the Aussies, but I know I can handle the snow much better than a category 5 Cyclone. I'm getting much done on my bottom panel.<br />Keep up the beautiful work.Juleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10407914106738043451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5438520712984321582.post-56909490389648492202011-02-02T09:56:20.781-05:002011-02-02T09:56:20.781-05:00Oh, such soft and lovely colors; they would make a...Oh, such soft and lovely colors; they would make a lovely baby quilt!!
