 It was rainy all weekend so it was a good time to be sewing. I now have 4 farm blocks made and should have the top together by the weekend. The horse and cow are the most complex blocks so I tackled them first.  I also got the two veterans quilts quilted. This one was made by Peg and I know that she had 4 more tops ready for us to quilt. It's rare for Brenda and I to run out of quilts to quilt!  Both quilts (Peg's and mine) are quilted with a wavy crosshatch. I default to that almost every time I receive a square based quilt. It's fast and always looks nice. I'll show my whole quilt once I get it bound.
This week we are on watch for a blizzard Wednesday or Thursday. We were supposed to get new siding and gutter on our house this week but that's been appropriately postponed. I think I'm going to take some time this week to plan an extra beach trip this Spring and to plan our 2026 winter vacation. That will keep my spirits up! I did get out and walk around yesterday and saw that all those daffodils that I planted in the fall are starting too come up.Maybe the general weather will start warming once this week's storm is over.

We have cold weather predicted for a while yet. I hope you will be warmer.

The daffodils are long way off here because they're buried under at least two feet of snow (probably more)...and....it's still snowing.

I think I like the horse block best, but I would probably leave off the ?apple? 2/18/2025 07:46:13 am
We are getting the snow Wednesday morning and into Thursday. It will cancel our guild meeting, and I was really looking forward to it. Ah, well.

Those blocks are so cute! No snow here this week; it is going to be too cold to snow. Single digits Tuesday and Wednesday at night, then up into the teens thru Saturday. Leave a Reply. |
