Being that it is entitled Case Study #1, (so named because it is a term I saw often in grad school, studying the behavior of humans... albeit their speech and language behavior), I have plans for future case studies!

    The pictures of the blossoms etc are so beautiful! I love this time of year:) And the quilt - wow, it turned out amazingly well! I can't believe you did all those logs in white, but it's so effective!

    Awesome quilt, just like you girlfriend! I may just have to attend the show so I can view it properly. Hope you are able to take Mother's Day off and sit & sew until oblivion. Love the flowers. My crab apple tree is unusually full of spectacular blossoms this year as well. Must be the delayed spring.
