Happy Easter! I think spring has finally arrived and has decided to stay. I had thought pigs would fly before warm, sunny days arrived but when I looked out the window today, it is just gorgeous! Here is a picture of my neighbor's pink dogwood which is one of the prettiest I have seen this year. Isn't it gorgeous???
I just sent a spring exchange out to my partner, Karen, from my Yahoo group, Every Stitch Counts. I decided to stitch a very old freebie pattern from Prairie Schooler which I found and the colors were just so complimentary to each other. After finishing the stitching, I went to the local fabric store and this dogwood fabric caught my attention within moments. I completed this piece as a small pillow and I am hoping my exchange partner will like it when it arrives.

I am now working on The Musician once again after almost a 3 week hiatus. I have missed working on this piece and that is good news since I have a long, long way to go; about 20,000! Yesterday, I started to use the Krenik Very Fine Braid and should be starting some of the back stitching of the design soon. I think that is when she will really pop!
Last of all, I must share some other spring pictures. My daffodils were beautiful this year although they did not last for Easter. My azalea bushes are starting to bloom and when taking this picture, look what happened to fly by...... Happy Easter!!

Catol, I just love everything you're working on, and isn't the PS freebie just great? Yours is wonderful on the pillow - lucky recipient! She'll just love that!
This spring, though very wet here, is the most beautiful for flowers, bushes, and trees I've ever seen. Your photography is wonderful. The daffodils are perfectly formed, and I love the flying pig in the azaleas - too cute! Thanks for a lovely visit!
Such a cute little finish! I love just about anything that is PS! Hope you had a happy Easter and thanks for sharing all the beautiful pictures of the flowers in bloom. It does not look like that here in Ohio yet, maybe soon.
Nice exchange piece and lovely progress. I don't have the trees blooming yet, but I did cut some daffodils and hope to enjoy them inside since it won't quit being cold and rainy out!!!
Beautiful finish for you exchange piece! I love the pictures of your trees and flowers too!
