April
April showers bring May flowers
My old German mother-in-law used to say that while she chomped at the bit to get into her flower beds. She often had them dug up long before May, Standing in the rain, digging what was soft dirt but became hard claim in May. But her gardens were beautiful, unlike mine which never seemed to blossom.
I think the difference was hard work. Hard work in anything is always a way to a good end result. But sometimes the weeds get in the way and I found if you left them too long they were hard to pull out and ruined your Garden. Now I have a balcony... no weeds... no garden!

The Stitch & Chat and the Embroidery Chat!!!
Unfortunately, due to family matters I will not be able to attend for the next few months so all the chats will be cancelled unless someone else can run them. I will make sure the links are available to use. First on will be the administrator of the call.
This year, Stitch & Chat will run from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on the Saturday following the Guild meeting.
We will have a show and tell from 12 - 1 pm. Bring along what you’re working on or quilts you’re close to finishing. I can’t wait to see what everyone has been creating!
Let’s share new techniques we’ve discovered and inspire one another.
Feel free to bring friends who aren’t guild members. It will be fun to discover who else is out there quilting on their own!
It’s the same link listed below, and we’ll meet at 6:30 p.m.
