If the robins haven't returned to your area yet, they are on their way. Harbingers of Spring. I know there are robins in Southern California, but not in my neighborhood. Our returning bird is the mockingbird and they have been here for at least two months already.
This gorgeous pieced quilt by Ruth Powers is currently at Back Porch Fabrics in Pacific Grove as part of the "Birds from the Thomas Contemporary Quilt Collection" exhibit that continues through April 30th.

It must be Spring, the robins have arrived! I like Ruth's work very much...there is a freshness about it that's special. Thank you for sharing again.
In Ohio sometimes the robins never leave but we have big celebrations as the buzzards return to Hinckley!
