SPRING WIND
The west wind dances down the lane
and sets the robins winging;
It has a message sweet and plain,
for some folks hear it singing:
O hurry, gather daffodils! They're scattered over the hills
as thick as anything!
The little buds unfold again, in buff and white and gold again--
It's Spring, Spring, Spring!
~~~~
The west wind races up the road
and sets the green grass sprouting;
It wakes the turtle and the toad,
and some folks hear it shouting:
O hurry, fetch your bat and ball, put on your oldest shoes of all,
and cap and everything.
It's turning fine and hot again, the boys are in the lot again--
It's Spring, Spring, Spring!
--Nancy Byrd Turner--
This is my contribution to SPRING, my new quilt from the SWEET fabric by Urban Chiks for Moda. I will have a pattern for it SOON! I just thought you might enjoy seeing it since it looks SO much like Spring to me....my pink tulips are all about 3" out of the ground, I can hardly wait until they bloom!!! We are about 3-4 weeks behind the world for Spring..... has everyone already had tulips and daffodils?

I'm in MN so no tulips yet either, but some of the ice is off the lake and the loons are back!!!
Love your sweet quilt...thanks for sharing a glance.
My bulb flowers are up and some have bloomed and some are just starting to open. Usually we get them up about Feb. So this is very late for us.
I love your Sweet quilt. It really came together cute.
I love your cute Spring poem
Bright orange tulips blooming in Ohio. Love the Sweet line. I just finished up a little project. Love your quilt.
What a lovely, fresh quilt with a hint of vintage. I really like it!
My retreat is this weekend and I'm lining up my projects. I usually get a lot done!
Cheers!
So pretty! Our daffodils are peaking through but that's about it. It's going to be a great weekend so I'll be spending time outside cleaning up my garden. Fun times ahead. I hate this chore!
Thanks so much for visiting my blog Sheri, sorry I couldn't reply privately but you have your profile set at no reply. Yes there's nothing quite like a freshly washed new quilt that comes out all soft and wrinkly.
Hi, Sheri! I live in the Seattle, Washington area and my tulips are up quite away just waiting for the bud part to come out. I am so excited because I planted an entire row of beautiful pink and peachy ones in a new garden that was made last summer when I had my landscaping done. I absolutely love the little quilt on your post!! So precious! Are you going to have the pattern for sale or are you going to put it on the Moda Bake Shop! Your work is beautiful! Keep it up!
