Happy Easter if you celebrate! Here's the monthly cornucopia post for all the places and things I read, consumed, enjoyed online over the course of the month of March.

I didn't participate this year in the IG Quilt Fest, but Carson Ellis, the wife of the leader of one of my very favorite bands, The Decemberists did. I've really loved her illustrations and artwork on the band's releases so it was such a fun surprise to get her take on quilt making.

Definitely putting this recipe in the to-make-on-a-hot-morning list: Vietnamese Ice-Blended Coconut Coffee.

Really enjoying the short daily podcast, Letters From An American, of historian, Heather Cox Richardson reading her own daily essay. Nice and short, a good reading voice, and an always interesting take on our current events. Seems like listening to historians these days is particularly important.

Since we're wrapping up Women's History Month, here's a truly great crazy quilt, First American Woman, made in 2019 by Marci Hainkel.

There's going to be a sew-a-long using Alison Glass's new postage stamp stripe fabric in late spring, depending on when the new fabric actually arrives in shops. It's a very clever idea for a stripe print.

The Cherrywood Challenge this year is Poppy, as in red poppies. Very very tempting. Entry is due 5/15.

Some great tutorial videos on inserting hidden zippers into a pillow case, bag-making techniques and other sewing stuff from Sotak Handmade.

It is really quite tempting to sign up to get the four fat quarter panels from Denyse Schmidt this year.
