March Monthly Mini - Goodbye Mud Season

"Goodbye Mud Season" 

I have to post my monthly mini a little early this month as I will be off line until April 2. I apologize to anyone who hasn't posted yet. I will link yours up next week.

I love living in Maine. Nature is all around us. We have vast forests, glorious mountains, abundant farmland, beautiful rivers and the spectacular ocean. Mother Nature has also graced us with an extra season. In between the wonders of Winter and the promise of Spring, we have “Mud Season”!

What could be more welcoming during mud season than to have some beautiful bright feedsacks up on the wall? I’ve admired Racheldaisy’s (Blue Mountain Daisy) fabulous colorful quilts forever, so when she came out with patterns, I snatched them up. I just love the name of this one “Charming Smiles”.  You can find her patterns on her Etsy site (here).

I reduced the size from the pattern to accommodate the mini theme. I thought that curve might be a challenge in such a small size but it went pretty smoothly. I think if I were to make it with feedsack fabric again, I would starch the fabric first. It's not perfect, but certainly what I call "close enough". 
I wanted to use a turquoise rickrack, but I didn't have enough so I went with the yellow. I'm thinking I bought this package in high school. Seventeen cents?!!! 
I used a vintage floral for the back. 

Here are links to all the fabulous monthly minis. As always, feel free to jump in any time. I try to post them in the last few days of the month.

Quilting Babcia (AmityQuilter)
And Karen (Log Cabin Quilter) has made a little bunny quilt this month that you will want to see!

Happy Mud Season!

    4. It’s obvious some patient with HERPES are been enslaved to the antiviral and other supplementary Orthodox medicine just to help suppress the virus and not a cure. I have been with the virus since 2019 until I was introduce by a blogger who also narrated Her story online on how she was cured of Herpes after using Dr ISHIAKU Herbal Medicine. This is a year and 2 weeks since I was delivered from Herpes. All thanks to God for using this Great herbalist to heal me. I have promise to keep telling good about this. Please fill free to share Your problems with him. Thanks. Write him via call or whatsapp him on +2348180828544 or email ishiakuherbalcure@gmail.com   thank you once again sir

  2. We have relatives in Maine, and have heard of Mud Season. We thought they were kidding at first, but apparently it's official. Sounds like a good excuse to stay inside and sew!

    Your March mini is so cheery! Good use for those feedsack scraps.

  5. We're also in full mud season here, as the constant pile of dirty "dog bathtowels" next to the washing machine in the mudroom will attest. Your sweet mini is a big ray of sunshine much needed right about now! I love the addition of the bright yellow rick-rack too.

  11. I used to purchase fabric at Penney's. I see your rickrack label shows Penney's. They had nice stuff. I was not a happy camper when Penney's got out of the fabric business. And, just for your info, at one time I managed the Montgomery Ward's fabric department.

God will continue to bless you Dr ovia more abundantly for the good work you are doing in peoples life by curing them from different type of diseases. I will keep on testifying about your good work. I was living with diabetes type 1      6 months ago and my doctor told me that there is no cure. I did not believe him and i keep my faith up hoping that one day i will be cured from this horrible disease. One day i saw a post on diabetes forum about a herbal doctor called Dr ovia on how he cure people from diseases with his root and herbs and i quickly contact Dr ovia  on his email and explain my problem to him and he told me not to worry that he is going to cure me and truly he prepared the herbal medicine and send it to me through UPS and gave me instructions on how to take it. After three weeks of taken the herbal medicine , i went to my doctor for checkup and my  diabetes result show Negative and my doctor told me that there is no trace of diabetes in my body and the diabetes is completely gone You can also be cured from any type of diseases by contacting Dr ovia on his email: droviaherbalhome@gmail.com or WhatsApp him on +2348117923986You can follow his page droviaherbalhome
