This spring not been for the birds here in western Wisconsin. Until this past week. I am sitting here writing with the window open and can hear the Robins in my back yard singing and chirping away, a welcome sound indeed. It finally has become SPRING but it took a while. 
April 19th we had such a horrid snow storm just as the birds were returning. 
That day is was windy, rainy, snow, ice mixture. the poor birds were flying from tree to tree to roof tops and back just trying to keep their wings from freezing. this continued the whole day and finally into the night it turned to snow. I was so glad to wake the next morning to see snow on the trees, at least a shelter from the storm could be found. After it started to warm a bit and the snow melted I could see the crows outside picking at stuff in the grass. Dead birds I suppose. I wasn’t to sad to see another snow come down by mid day to cover up the poor dead little ones.
Next came May with it’s own winter storm. I awoke on May 2nd to 7+ inches of snow on the ground, wet and heavy. Many of the trees were bent to the ground heavy laden with snow. 
That day I was to meet my ASG (American Sewing Guild) group for a bus trip to Nancy’s Notions weekend. I was 20 min late but the bus came 45 min later so I guess I was early. I had refused to wear my winter coat and boots IN MAY! choosing to layer warmly and take my raincoat. That was a good move because it was raining in Beaver Dam. I was so thankful the bus driver was driving and not me, as he said “There would have been a lot of no shows for this Trip.”
I even had the opportunity to have my picture taken with Nancy Zieman. I have been watching her show for 25+ years. 
I am finally finished with my Spring Quilt and I did like the results. I did some FMQ on this and am getting better at it as I go along. Still I do have a way to go to be satisfied with my results but I am going to put a label on the back and send it off to my Dreaming of Spring Mini Quilt Swap Partner. I will post the full picture of it in a week so I don’t give away the surprise before she receives it. Your can view my progress on Flickr.

I love the mini quilt pattern and I love your Label the best.
and I was so glad that I was not driving. We all arrived safely thanks to the skillful driving of our bus driver. I enjoyed Shopping, taking Classes and Seminars and even got to Meet Nancy Zieman and Mary Malari in person.
