Spring has sprung?

Easter is a week away.  Today I was filling Easter baskets, planting seeds indoors and decorating the house with some spring touches.   I no sooner got done and look what Mother Nature has tossed my way.  It's almost a white out.  Just a few minutes ago there was no snow.   Will spring ever make its way to my neck of the woods?

While unpacking some of my spring decor I decided to put this nice bright runner on my table.  I made this runner a few years back.  I especially love the prairie points running along the sides.  It was my first attempt to make prairie points and it was very easy.  You space the prairie points as close or far apart as you would like to fill in the space.  

Making table runners is a quick and easy way to learn a new technique without committing to a whole quilt.  Table runners are also a good way to practice and learn how to quilt your own quilts.  This was the first time I attempted to quilt straight (well sort of straight) lines.
