Harbingers of Spring

      The calendar says it is still winter, but today's incredibly warm weather and these cheerful crocuses in my backyard definitely point to spring.

   
     Since it feels like spring, I decided to switch the quilts I have displayed on racks throughout my house.

     None is more springy then this very special one which was made for me five years ago when I was battling breast cancer by a group of women who used to spend Wednesdays quilting at a local shop.

       The back was just as beautiful as the front, and there are two large handprints in the corner with the names of all who those who worked on the quilt.      

 
     Though the quilt shop has been closed for a number of years, I am happy to say that this wonderful group of women still gets together monthly to quilt.
