My Yard ~ Some Birds Visiting

 Common Grackles are really gorgeous whe the sun hits them though they aren't my favorite bird at my feeders but so far it's only been one to three here. Also not seen for quite a while have been American Robins. There were two robins here this morning. Spring must be coming!

Postcard Mail Art "Under the Sea" Postcard Swap

 Some Under the Sea postcards I made yesterday. I have tons of threads I've bought and have rarely used. Some I dyed myself as I dyed fabric and some I bought at quilt shows.

Donation Quilts

 4 donation quilt tops made in 2023. The past week I quilted & bound all 4 of them. But I do have more tops in the waiting pile...onto more quilting

Snow Days ~ Birds

 Some unexpected snow arrived and surprised me this mroning when I got up.  We had 3" when I shoveled a path to the area where I hang the feeders on the deck.  Over the next 2 hrs we received another 1-2" of snow.  The birds were really busy at the feeders.
