  2. My forsythia on the bank came out in full bloom today, also, Gayle! It is SO pretty. I was gone for the majority of the day so didn't get any cut, but I plan to do that tomorrow and bring it inside to enjoy!

    Your new blocks are beautiful...as are all the rest. Looking forward to seeing the finished project!

    Happy Easter to you, my friend.

  3. Forsythia definitely makes me think of spring. I wish I had one growing in my yard so I could help myself to some cut branches. Thanks for sharing these photos.

  8. Happy Easter to you! I love your forget-me-nots and the lemon meringue pie and pineapple squares. They're darling. I'm working on mine, too. But, since I'm not 39,I'm doing 50 squares. It's fun, isn't it?
    Oh and your Forsythia is gorgeous!

  18. My forsythia won't be open for at least another couple of weeks so thanks for sharing yours.

    I LOVE seeing your blocks, as they are still the most charming embroideries. I self-taught embroidery and seeing your blocks each time, make me want to try it again.

    Have a blessed Easter as we Remember
