If it's the beginning of the month ( sort of)--------------

If it is the sort of beginning of the month ( nearly) it must be the April BQL Calendar Challenge time!
This is April's theme------Handbags! My colour choice is, as always, what I see in the garden----blue for Forgetmenots, pink for blossom and tulips, and Blue/pink for our Pulmonaria.

I have also in the last few weeks embarked on a King size ( UK King size!!) Baltimore Album Quilt that I came across as a Block of the Month on
http://www.fatcatpatterns.com/baltimore_bliss.htm

I have chosen colours to go with our guest bedroom decor which is pale blue/lemon /cream. I have completed the first Block and am about to start on Block 2. I do find hand applique very calming and do it by needle turning, as the blocks are quite big at 16" so it goes quite quickly!
I will post photos when I have finished block 2.

The garden is coming slowly into life which is lovely and I will soon need to get some veggie seeds on the go as well as the dahlias.
