APRIL SHOWERS TRULY DID BRING MAY FLOWERS! April Showers Topper


It has been raining so much this month that I am sure the mosquitoes will have a field day this year.

Here is a little topper I designed a few years ago.  This was taken off the craftsy site when Craftsy did their purging.





Here it is using the beautiful Island Batik Fabrics.

Today I put the binding on three quilts.




I can only show you one.


If you have been reading my post, you will remember that this quilt is made from the scraps of another quilt.  I used the Accuquilt Go orange peel die to make the shapes.  I also used Aurifil 50 wt. thread.

I have yet to quilt the other quilt but it is sandwiched.

I love this Oriental fabric from Inchworm Fabrics.

I have really made some headway this month in all of the quilts I have an obligation to make.  I always worry about meeting deadlines but I think I am going to make it.

I have two quilts that need to be quilted (this is not counting the UFO's), yes, I have plenty of those.

What beautiful projects. I love your April Showers table topper in Island Batik fabrics. Just so cheerful, it wouldn't matter if it was raining outside.

I love the umbrella topper. Since the pattern is no longer available on Craftsy, are you planning to activate your Etsy account soon and make the pattern available there? I hope so!

I love the April Showers topper in the Island Batik fabrics. Of course, the blues and greens in it are my favorite colors.
I have a quilt that I need to put the binding on. I just finished quilting it yesterday evening.

Love the table topper you designed. Perfect for this time of year. Love the other quilt too! Great job.

I don't understand why craftsy removed this pattern , it is really sweet , it's so pretty for spring and in the island batiks it is gorgeous.

Those umbrellas are darling!!

Slow and steady and you will soon have the obligation quilts done. I always worry about not meeting deadlines, but I have yet to not meet one yet!
