This block is called Happy  Happy but  I was not happy stitching it. The tiny circles were a real challenge. I would sew a stitch then lift my pressure foot and stitch another stitch. Click on the picture and see what a great job I really did do on my button hole stitches.    

Now this block is called Simple Simon. I guess because it was simple to make

MARCH

March is finally here and we only had 22 days of snow this Winter. The warmest January I can remember. We had 2  different days of 3 - 4 inches of snow all other days the grass was covered but not the road or side walk.  Only one day was school called off.
