39 Squares ~ Day 21

Since yesterday was the first day of spring and Mother Nature decided to celebrate with a fresh snowfall here, I decided to stitch a little bit of spring into my 39 Squares sampler!

Isn't this sweet? Samantha M. made this by following the directions in my Vintage-Inspired Easter Basket tutorial which I posted on the Joli Paquet blog the other day. Remember, if you complete any of the projects we post on Joli Paquet, we invite you to take a photo of your creation and add it our Flickr site here. We'd love to see what you make.
