A couple views of the pennies. The transparency plastic is Ok for laser printers as well as inkjets, and that is why it did not turn into a smoking smelly mess when I ironed fusible web to the back of it. Nothing like destructive testing, eh?
I finally finished the March journal Quilt page, all about Aerin because, well, March is her month. This is one where I feel I'm still not done yet - like the last five minutes of a test where they have to snatch the pencil from your grasp because there is so much more to say? I really haven't done her justice, the pigtail is wrong and hangs badly, the books should be clearer (I can list them if you want to know the titles, they are all really good) the colors aren't enough, I meant to add ferns to the bottom of the tree... I think I will get a chance to add 13 pennies to it, one from each year she's been around. I'll repost it when that final touch is done. 
I've started the April page with a real tree and a money tree woven together, and it is so ugly and so wrong I'm starting again. I think I was onto something when I got silly, and used broccoli as the basic tree shape. Silly is definitely the direction for me.
