March has arrived....cloudy with rain storm expected and no wind...yet. When I was a little girl, my sescond grade teacher ( a sister of Mercy at St. Mary's) taught ways to remember various things. Like the months have a subject. January snow, February hearts, March winds, etc. Here is my March banner for my bedroom door. Another hand stitched project. My plan is to make a Sun Bonnet Sue for each month.
She has shamrocks growing at her feet...also for March, St. Patrick's Day. Did you know that he really was not a saint and that his name was not Patrick? I watched the
Curious Traveler and she was talking about it on the trip to Ireland.
I realized that I had not posted my February Sue. She was part of a blog hop that I joined and it would have possibly tipped off the recipient who made it.
I enjoy applique projects. Next is to finish my Shabby Rose quilt with a flange binding. Fabric is sitting in the basket waiting to be cut into strips. then on with the washing and drying to help the fraying.
Lisa and I went to our quilt shop and the mustard print is for the quilt the other for upcoming banners.
Here is another upcoming project, an applique table mat. Tea Pots.... The pictures were taken from my phone....so excuse the quality in the transport to the computer. Better pictures once I start the projects. Seems they do not copy well. Of course it very well could be my tech expertise! I must get back to more frequent blog posting. Glad you still visit with me...thank you for that. Thank you for your kind words and friendship.

Gracie, hope you are doing well. Love seeing your Sun Bonnets. What did you have for January? Looking forward to seeing your table mat of tea pots. Stay well.
The Sunbonnet Sues are darling. The teapots will look so cute!
I did know St. Patrick's history. And he is officially a Saint in the Orthodox Church. :)

I am thankful to the author for the wonderful articles writes which provide valuable insight and useful knowledge.
Beautiful SunBonnet Sues both of them.

The Sunbonnet girls are very cute! I like the monthly themes too, especially as St Patrick means nothing to an English person. I’d much rather go with kites and windy weather.
How cute are these! I had never seen March associated with kites though, those are more of an autumn thing for me. But looking outside, I guess it works!
