Every year Spring amazes me. How can it be that these branches that were bare and dead looking all winter are now busting forth with bits of color? It's a miracle of which I never tire.

Here's a quilt I made several years ago with the same name, Hope Springs Eternal. I had so much fun making this using some of my hand dyes, commercial fabrics and paper piecing. All pictures are clickable for a bigger view.

Norma,
looks like you have been very busy. Your new budding brances look wonderful. The hand dyes are gorgeous and I would love to see the portrait in person. It is fantastic! Such a unique piece.
I believe that piece or one just like it , hung at Houston. I remember it well and the picture doesn't do it justice. I do miss spring.... but our weather has finally turned absolutely gorgeous. Sue
Beautiful -- pics and quilt!
