Are you eager to create with colors of Spring? To pull out and display quilts with pastels? How about Flowers, Birds and other delightful signs of Spring?
Today I want to inspire you to pull out your colorful projects to display in your home, to take time to create using colors of Spring, to step outside and welcome Spring. Let's get a Spring in our step of quilting, sewing and embroidery. I'm tossing away the gloom of winter and want to pick up my pace of creating and having fun.
Here are a few Spring inspirations for quilters:
{above} Beautiful Aurifil Threads certainly help to welcome in Spring. And, what quilter wouldn't want to receive an Easter basket full of such beautiful thread?

How do you welcome in Spring?

Quite beautiful....anything spring like would be wonderful right now. We are in the middle of a snow storm here....hoping it will change to rain anytime...lol
Spring things are slowly appearing all around the house, yes! Love all your pictures, esp. that last one. It looks like a photograph not fabric!
Beautiful quilts! I actually just bought a bunch of spring/ Easter colors so that I could make some easter things for my little guy. One of the few times in the year that its ok to give a boy something that is pink or purple.. LOL
I put away the St. Pat's Day stuff and brought out the Easter decor. Put a flower applique quilt on the guest bed and a Spring Is Here sign on the front door although it's only about 15 degrees outside with a howling wind. However, the sun is shining. Happy Spring!
Grabbed my sunglasses...there is always hope for a sun shinny SPRING day in OHIO!
Did you say an Easter basket filled with Aurifil? Did you want to give me heart failure? Now I have a new lust....an Easter basket filled with Aurifil. Next I'll want a bathtub full....LOL :)
I love Barb's table topper, it is so clever and so cheerful. The other quilts sure do give the feeling of spring. I can guarantee you that there is no "spring" in the air in the Detroit area....it still looks like winter to me.
Thanks for the pick me up...and the rekindled lust!
Giggles,

I have yellow and purple crocuses in my yard and around them is a thin layer of snow. And a friend wore a t-shirt today embroidered with a row of flowers that made us all smile. I think it is the gentleness of Spring that I enjoy. Thanks for marking this lovely day.
I really love the Whimsical Garden quilt. Thanks for sharing!
Even though our grounds are covered with snow in Boston, it was fun to see the spring colors.
Happy Quilting!
U caught my complete undivided atttention with the thread. What beautiful colors
You are so cruel. All those beautiful quilts, I want to stop all the projects I'm trying to finish and start working on these quilts. Bad girl!
I love the colors of spring. Everything looks bright and beautiful!
