Today I can show you the little secret the Gum Tree designers and I
have been keeping for nine or so months.
"SPRINGTIME"
A collaborative effort to aid the 'Fresh Hope' program
We chatted, drew, designed, chatted some more, and stitched, quilted
and thoroughly enjoyed the colaborative effort to bring this quilt about...

The inspiration behind my block was,
Giving from the heart is what the Fresh Hope program do...
they love without cost... they give without cost and
those women fortunate who are chosen for the Fresh Hope program
have an opportunity to grow in love.
They can come to a safe haven to be loved beyond measure
and start the journey of life with a fresh hope.
They have come out of their winters and have come into springtime.
They have a place to be themselves and catch the view of life
from a different perspective. A Fresh Hope perspective.
I then stitched away at a verse of the poem.
'happily enjoying all moments'
I can easily imagine siting on the little garden bench
smiling, enjoying the moments.
It has been a pleasure to join together with my Gum Tree friends
to help create something for the Fresh Hope,
a Spring time for all to enjoy.
Winter has gone ‘Springtime’ has come to Fresh Hope.
I Hope you ahve enjoyed finally seeing our 'Springtime'
Have a visit to Among the Gum Trees and read some more,
have a visit throughout today of
Jenny, Joy, Judith, Fiona,Vicki, Vikki and
Cheryl ( former member of Among the Gum Trees) to see their blocks
and the inspiration behind them.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Happy stitching
Sweet Cinnamon-y Hugs

I love all the gorgeous blocks on this quilt. They are all so different but tie in together really well and the Rounnaries fabric is just fabulous, of course. I love the little sayings. Your block and saying is lovely.
