Springtime in Muddle Land

Of course, we start with a quilt. I had just finished this flannel half hexie quilt when our son came over for a visit. He seemed to feel that it was just the thing he needed, so he took it home with him! I love that picture with the guitar and the quilt together. He is quite a talented guitarist.
 
SO many pretty things to see out in our back yard, and after a very long dry spell we are getting some nice rain today. So refreshing for the plants, and for us, too.
 
Julie at MyThreadBear life had such an interesting and inspiring post  (as she always does) about some egg pockets she had made. I followed the link on her blog to an Instagram post showing instructions, and decided I needed to make some! 
Mine are in a totally different direction from hers, but I like them a lot. I used 1930's reproduction fabrics that look so very happy. These little happy pockets will be going to some friends of mine tomorrow. As you may be able to figure out from the pics above, each little egg pocket holds an Easter hanging decoration (thank you, Amazon), a small rolled up napkin and a chocolate bunny or two. I am very pleased how they turned out. 
 
As you can see, there are a few chocolate bunnies hiding in the lower part of the blue glass egg on the dining room table. Just in case of emergency, you know.
 
I was so pleased to hear President Trump unashamedly call Jesus Christ his Lord and Savior. He is mine, too!
 
Hugs and kisses,
Elaine

Oh my goodness Elaine ... so much loveliness in this post. Thank you for the mention & your egg pockets turned out so beautiful. Love the vintage reproduction fabrics 💓 - adorable. Your hexie quilt looks stunning - beautiful colours & your garden looks equally beautiful. Happy Easter to you Elaine. xx (I have only made 3 egg pockets but maybe more next Easter 😊🐣)
