My goodness the weather has been so glorious!!!! I know that everyone is out in the garden and enjoying all of this wonderful Spring weather. Just remember not to plant those bedding plants too soon. It is always such a temptation to start to get some color going after the tulips and daffodils have done their thing but we really can get some more cold weather to damage those fragile blooms. It is a great time to get a fresh coat of paint on the porch swing or a new coat of stain on the deck. And also a great time to make some new cushions. We have some wonderful ticking just in from Moda. A lovely weight for cushion covers. Also the new homespuns that we received a couple of weeks ago are perfect for cushion covers as well. A quilted table topper for the patio table would make a perfect addition and these colors won't be affected by a late Spring frost.

We have really been busy and are very excited about all we will have in our booth at the Hagerstown show this weekend. Don't forget to put this great event into your plans for Saturday or Sunday. This is always a wonderful show and this year they will be offering demonstrations on various techniques and talents. I will be doing a demo on basting methods at noon on Saturday so if you are still planning your day think about catching this demo then stop by the booth to see our wonderful new packaging technique.

See you soon, Barbara
