Spring at last

Hello again. 

After quite a busy autumn with lots of field trips, including one to visit a lake:

After that, it has mostly been a winter with little snow, but lots of feeling rotten.  I've been fighting the same cold off and on since December now.  It seems to come back about every three weeks.  Hopefully with the approaching spring it will finally retreat.

To help me get through this rough season, I took a couple quilting classes.  In January, I learned about foundation paper piecing.

And then about a month later, I took a class about an applique wall hanging pattern.  The class was taught by Sue Pritt, who is also the pattern designer.  Here's my in progress project:

I don't have any other classes currently planned which is fine as I probably should start planning my gardening at this point.
