Spring Doings

Just in time for Easter!  My little State Fair table topper got bound and placed on my dining table.  I love the spring color palette, and will be enjoying this one for many months to come.

My dining table did not see any Easter action this year.  We gathered at my dad's house, 18 of us, to have our traditional Easter Brunch.  Mimosas, salmon puffs, an amazing fruit salad, bacon, sausages, quiche, a mushroom breakfast casserole and my contribution Blueberry French Toast, which the family now calls "Blueberry Crack".  It is so good you can't stop eating it.  It was a feast, but especially nice for those of us who could, to gather together.

Thanks to everyone who commented on yesterday's post.  I am still in a quandary as to how to proceed with this Windmills quilt, but got a ton of suggestions that are very intriguing.  I will keep you posted!  

I have a busy week planned, with volunteering in Eva's classroom, getting my hair colored, meeting up with a friend for coffee–but some sewing will happen I promise.  I will leave you with this photo of Eva on our vacation last week.  We were at a posh shopping mall on El Paseo in Palm Desert, and Denny had just suggested that Jamba Juice might be good.

  16. Love the table topper…perfect for spring, and into summer. Should it ever show up!
    We have 21 blueberry plants…you need to share your recipe for Blueberry “Crack”! And I am in awe that you have that many matching chairs for a family gathering!!!

  19. Love the topper. You’ll get lots of use out of that one.I’m impressed that you have a table that will extend out to seat that many – not to mention matching chairs. I do Mother’s Day and Christmas gathering for 22-24 and have to put several tables end to end and rely on folding chairs.
    Would love if you shared your blueberry french toast and the mushroom casserole recipes. Both sound really great.
    Eva is one lucky little girl!
