Easter CQ and Memories

Remember that block from this post here ? It's all dressed up for Easter now
I was inspired by the Victorian panoramic eggs that have the scenes inside


The pic above is from D.Blumchens Co, if you're not in the mood for Easter, you will be after a visit there



Confectionery Artists Guild of Orlando has a great page in place with these beautiful sugared eggs and how to make them....hmmm , maybe an idea for next year. And here's another site, Sugar Eggs that customizes these little gems with names and dates if you're not quite inclined to make your own..

I just loooooove these and remember the one and only Easter I ever got one


Anyway I had to fish into the wool/felt box to find a pale pink back for "The Egg" before I stuffed it and came across some of last years booty from the big city. This will turn into another springy post of its own, I'm sure

basket on the kitchen counter


Now for the flashback.... this is sis and I before church back in 1969. Grandma S made my sisters coat and my coat including a lined linen dress... I was so proud of that outfit

it was chilly but I had to show off the dress

and again for Easter in 1970... alittle shorter in the arms and the knees... and more demurely worn than by the little brat a year before... who only knew then what the 70's would bring

I think this was '71... with the coconut bunny cake my mom and I made together. Good memories, spring in the air and all the Hopes that Easter brings makes this my all time favorite holiday.
Wishing that this years big bunny is good to you , too

I don't know whose blog or what site I saved this photo from but it's for sure NOT mine but I loved the idea. My bras would only be good for seed starting, not growing plants, LOL
HAPPY SPRING !

Cooking Up Crazy

What If the the CQ block strips weren't constructed to the best advantage for cording purposes because the foundation fabric kept wanting to peak out?
What IF I took bias binding and edged them that way?
What if I borrowed Judes idea for the floral motifs at the strip intersection?
What If I take today, work on the "black" block and simmer some more CQR thoughts?

And What If fall has arrived as if someone had flipped a switch and put autumn in the air?
