The Mt. Zion area is looking more like spring leaves are showing, grass is green most of all the daffodils along the roadside are blooming, the buzzards are back, although the eagles did a good job of keeping the road kill cleaned up.

The Rockville quilters are truly blessed when we think of all the pleasures a quilt can bring to so many people, the quilters are happy when people give us a quilt top to quilt, we are happy when we get it finished and the owner are happy when they pick it up. Really the happiness started when the person had enough material to make the quilt when they had it ready had it ready to be quilted; each step brings happiness so we think quilts are pieces of happiness.
