Friday Night

It's actually just the start of Spring here in Northern Ontario.  The apple trees and lilacs are just beginning to bloom now and walking home from work, I can smell the fragrance of those pretty pink flowers.
The ones by the court house are again full of blossoms like last year.  I'm hoping there will be a big yield of crab apples like last year and I can make more crab apple jelly again this Fall.
I'm hoping to get lots of strawberries too this year.  They should be ready in another two to three weeks.  I want to put up a bunch of jam with them this year.  Didn't quite make enough last year.
Of course, dill pickles and bread and  butter pickles will be done again.  Have to have those for sure!!
Might even talk my sister into going blueberry picking this year too.  They grow wild almost everywhere around here so why not use them.
Finished my Strawberry Dreams quilt and I am very pleased with it.  The quilting was all done on my little machine but I did enjoy it.  I am getting the hang of the Free Motion Quilting now and like to play and experiment with different things.  But my wrist does act up sometimes and makes it more difficult to get things done as fast as I would like.

These are a couple of pictures of the quilt I just finished.  I have already started to sew together some blocks for my next one.  It is a pretty colour way and I love the feel of the fabrics on it too.  I think it is going to be very pretty but not quite as big as this one is.
The local Farmer's Market opens tomorrow so I may pop over to see what they have.  Usually there isn't too much just yet.  Not until later in the summer does all the local produce start to come in.  I do want to get some honey though and hopefully the lady that sells it will be there.  She always carries her buckwheat honey and it is to die for.  We shall see how I feel tomorrow and if I want to make the walk done.
Hope all have a pleasant evening.
Goddess Bless
