Well, we’ve made it through March, which came in like a lion and went out like a lamb, as the old saying goes!! Where did the first quarter of the year go??! I have begun working my way through my list of UFOs and have begun a new start … Highland Heifers!! I’ll be linking up with Sharon and Susan at Ms. P’s Designs, as well as Connie at Freemotion by the River, who will help hold me accountable for completing what I start and finishing some of those UFOs!

Congratulations on your finishes and progress! I’m excited to see you catalog quilt photos. Thank you for linking up with PHD in 2026.
Wow, Brenda! You are one busy bee and what beautiful projects you have in the works. You are really coming along on the Herscheners barn and Flossie is as cute as a button. I look forward to seeing the other blocks. Enjoy your weekend. Hugs.
Thanks so much, Melisa! I’m really loving these cute cows! Hugs!
Lots of great projects Brenda and Flossie is adorable!
My goodness you have a lot of beautiful projects! The cross stitch barn is really cute and unique. Do the catalog quilts have something to do with Island Batiks?
Thanks, Linda. Yes, the catalog quilts just came out in the new Island Batik Look Book. You can find it on the lumin.com site if you’re interested!
