Are you seeing signs of Spring where you live? We just recently said goodbye to huge flocks of Robins that migrate through south Florida. We would awake to hundreds of Robins in our yard for about 2 weeks. It was looking like Alfred Hitchcock's movie The Birds, but they have since moved on and are making their way north once again.

Spring also means bunnies, right?
These little cuties were at our local County Fair this weekend, there were 8 babies in all and if you look to the left the runt of the liter is snugged up behind it's siblings.
Some of the other signs of Spring in south Florida are the last of the quilt shows in Florida until Autumn approaches.
I went to the Broward Quilt Expo this past weekend with dear friends Karen and Fran, along with a whole busload of quilt friends. WOO -HOO road trip!

We had a great time of course and we were all re-inspired by the fabulous quilts on display.
There was a nice mix of traditional and non-traditional quilts and a nice selection of vendors including my friend Mary with
Giftsforquilters.com
The best of show was a stunning non-traditional quilt by Helia Ricci
