IT'S THE BERRIES:))), et al

 

I began quilting my Strawberries 
early this morning--
What's a girl to do when she wakes up
at 5 a.m.?????

She, of course.....
decides how she wants/needs to quilt
her berries:))))

(Before someone comes along and
eats them hahaha)


Because my appliqued berries' strips
are so wide and the berries are so
large, I figured they'd have to be
quilted down or the planned
echo quilting around them would just 
POUFF out those fruits!! 

Decided on dark red for the berry
and lighter green for the cap...

I stopped halfway through the cap as
the "HANDS" decided they
were getting tired. 
😒😓😔
I know this will take a long time--but I
am in no hurry; this is my quilting
project for the foreseeable future...

AMARYLLIS SURPRISES AGAIN!!
THREE more buds appear overnight!!
and .....

not to be outclassed,
 my 
white Christmas Cactus 
is putting
forth lovely, frothy blooms:

After seeing this "Whitey" bloom
 
 "Tangerine" decided to bud out, too!!

My little window garden is coming
alive...;)))
👀💕👀

We still have a bit of snow on the lawns, 
but roads and driveways
are all cleared..
