INTRODUCTION
The bumper music for this podcast is the traditional Latin Easter hymn, O Filii et Filae.
Spring has sprung!
For see, the winter is past, the rains are over and gone.
The flowers appear on the earth,
the time of pruning the vines has come,
and the song of the dove is heard in our land. [Song of Songs 2:11-12]

This is a real spring peeper. They are TINY! (About 1 inch long!)
And this is my Spring Peeper quilt
Here is a cool African quilt that was at the quilt show at the Belleville Historical Museum this month. It had all sorts of found objects sewn to it, such as shells and beads. Unfortunately I neglected to get the quilter's name and information.
Here is a display of three of my quilts that were in the show. I am amused that the left one was hung wrong, but the display works!

ReplyDeleteRuthann! Love the peeper quilt!! Love the Sashiko!! Love it all!! You are awesome!
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying Big Tent too. Thx, Tami
I made the shirred eggs for dinner a couple nights ago. The were just so creamy smooth. I had never made them before. I had always passed the recipe by in my cookbooks. I will have to share this recipe with my daughters and daughter-in-law and son since they all really enjoy scrambled eggs and poached eggs. Shirred eggs is an elegant cross between the two dishes.
