Kelsey: Spring attire
Here is Kelsey, in one of her Springtime outfits. The plaid cropped pants and yellow t-shirt are so perfect for the warmer temperatures. Kelsey is also wearing her white espadrilles. It has been a while since I have sewn clothing for her, but plan on doing more in the near future. She was originally bought as a model to sew clothing for my granddaughter's American Girl® dolls. OK, now it is just fun to sew the clothing, lol. Do you ever sew doll clothing?

This is my Splendid Sampler™ quilt top from the QAL last year. The goal for April is to finish quilting and bind this little quilt. Hopefully it will be finished in time for the One Monthly Goal Finish link party. The quilting is free-motion machine meandering. Wish me luck. Prim quilting blessings.

Happy Easter 2018
Happy Easter morning to you all. Hoping your day is going well. Spring is such a nice time of the year, with its warmer temperatures and the flowers blooming. Even a bit if rain is OK with me. I cannot recall another year when Easter fell on the same day as April Fool's Day, can you? 'Funny how things happen sometimes. Wishing you all happiness and good health today, and every day. Prim blessings.
