And this was March!

I can't believe that we're almost through the 3rd month of 2021 - and yet, there's been lot of stuff happening here, so I guess we really are.  Between knitting, quilting, keeping a bit of order in the house and even making a few birthday cards, it's been a busy time.  It seems like forever since I made / had time to make cards, but with 3 birthdays in the family in 4 days, I didn't have a reason to NOT make a few!

Maybe I'll start with one of the cards - made for my sister.  She's a gardener - hope she doesn't mind the dandelion fluff!

A week or two ago, we had an announcement in church that a member was recently diagnosed with cancer - so they needed a prayer shawl.  Our craft group hasn't been able to meet for more than a year, so it's up to me to supply a shawl.  Good thing that the yarn is at my house until we can get back into church.  I have it just over halfway done: 

I've also got a bunch of different quilt-y things going on.  There's the Monthly Colour Challenge from PBJ - this month's food / colour inspiration is yams - deep red-orange and lighter orange - and this is my block: 

I'm also participating in  Angela's So Scrappy challenge - this month's colour was green.  Once again, I made 4 9-patch blocks and 16 Half Square Triangles.

And finally, one of my bigger scrappy challenges right now is "Off the Brick Path" - it alternates 4.5" windmill blocks with 4.5" low volume squares.  One block ends up with 5 windmill blocks and the alternate block has 5 lv squares.  This quilt will probably be part of my donation for Sarah's annual Hands2Help campaign.

My March temperature quilt row will be up next week

Linking up to Quilting is more fun than housework.
