The days are getting longer, the sun is rising higher in the sky and the buds on the lilac and magnolia trees are getting fatter. Bring it on!!!
Thoughts of Spring most definitely had an influence on this month's First Friday Freebie. I had a lot of fun both designing and then creating this month's project and I hope you will too!
Here is March's FFF...
Spring Sampler Cushion
Usually while I'm stitching or sewing, the boys are either relaxing by the fire or snoozing in their favorite chair.
My next FFF will be available on June 1st...and it's already in the planning stages.
Life is grand!

It's wonderful! It sure makes me feel even more anxious for Springtime weather!!! Oh and red....oooooo good!! Well done!
Such a sweet little design--that cushion is beautiful! We could use a little spring here in our deepfreeze, and I think we are actually supposed to get above freezing this weekend!
Thank you Karen! It's lovely! This would make a great little reminder for those of us who tend to get depressed during winter!
Such a delightful design, Kaaren - thank you. Always enjoy pix of your 'boys' - they are a sweet pair.
No sign of spring here yet except for longer days.
What a great project, thank you so much Kaaren. Spring is on the way, a bunch of little snowflakes and a howling wind just told me so. Really.
Thank you, Kaaren. this is so pretty and looks like fun!
Lovely FFF this month. Thanks a bunch. Love the photo of the boys.
Thanks, Kaaren. I'm about to head to a warm Caribbean island tomorrow and was wondering what needlework I would take with me. I've printed this off and will get it ready for my suitcase. I hope your spring comes soon!! Best wishes, Kathie L in Allentown
