The Colors of Spring

I was always one of those kids who didn't really read my textbook if it didn't have color pictures. Don't you just love the vivid colors that are popping up all around now that it is spring? I had to share some pictures with you that my mom emailed me this week. She has been watching a robin's nest that was planted on the wreath of her front door. Luckily, she has another exit to the house so the robin family can be uninterrupted. Here are her beautiful pictures...

Now we all know why Crayola has a "robin egg blue" crayon in the box of 64!





I decided to purchase some linen today. Have any of you quilted with linen? It just looks so neat next to contrasting bold colors. Here are some linen pretties I found to spark your interest...
