I'm not sure about where you live... but here in Winnipeg, spring is always a little reluctant to make its annual appearance.
But the snow has melted and I can finally feel the warmth of the sun! (At least for now, I'm ignoring the snowy forecast!) Even though our plants haven't really started sprouting yet, the Canadian geese have returned. Ask a Canadian... that's a true sign of spring!

Can you imagine a more beautiful combination than the West Hawk Quilt and Sprout Wovens by Fableism Supply Co?
They’re perfect together, if I do say so myself.
But here’s the truth. I was embarrassed when I finished this quilt. Not because of how it looked… but because of how long it took me to complete it.
*Spoiler Alert! This is silly, don’t be like me.*
It took me 16 months. Yes, SIXTEEN months from start to finish! Between social media making it seem like people can make a quilt in a day and actually being the kind of quilter who HAS made a quilt in a day, this timeline ..read more
