Connecting Threads

Snow is predicted AGAIN for this evening so I find myself needing some reminders that spring is indeed going to happen here.  One of my favorite sites to visit is Connecting Threads.  It is chock-full of ideas and beautiful material.  This is their Country Blossoms Quilt Kit.  I am picturing myself just having finished this quilt and sitting at the beach or the park with it's lush green grass.  In my mind the grandchildren are on the swings and I am watching my own brood of grown up children pushing them gently and laughing together.  Of course the sunlight will be a plus...I can feel it's imaginary warmth on  my arms and the back of my neck.  There is cold home made lemonade, seven layer salad, baked beans and the smell of brats on the grill.  All these images come from a simple picture of a quilt. 

If you are in need of some eye candy or perhaps in the market for some beautiful fabric be sure to go over and visit them at Connecting Threads.  I promise you hours of browsing and lots of good imagery to stir around in your mind.  Hmmmmm maybe it is breakfast on the patio with a dear friend!  When are you free???

Hi Claudia! Last week we had the prettiest Spring like weather, this week..rain and yesterday and today, some SNOW! I love the photos of the quilts and the placemat...I love quilts, but alas, I don't make them...I love your imagination where the quilts are concerned,it's pretty much the same as I think whenever I see a quilt...picnics or snuggling by a fire...thanks for posting the photos Claudia! :)
