The Weather Outside is Freightful

And it snowed, and it snowed and it snowed....

Good for sewing time for me.  But first, this is what I woke up to.


More to come today.  We were spoiled this year.  50 degree temps in November.  Couldn't hold off forever.


I've been working on my 365 blocks.


I don't do them everyday.  I wait till I have a few blocks to make.  These are fun to do and surprisingly only 3" finished.  This isn't my original fabric choices.  I original started making them using some charm squares.  Then I saw what the completed quilt was going to look like so I switched gears.  Then I thought I loved the scrappiness of my original design.  So....


I decided to do both.  I had only made 3 blocks using the charm squares.  So I sat down and caught up.  I love how both of these look.




Yesterday was productive.  I got my tumbler quilt pin basted.  I found another UFO from 2 years ago (a wall quilt) and got it pin basted too.  I want to try some FMQ on it.  Then last night I got part of the final border on Henrietta marked and started quilting.  It is so good to see the finish line for this quilt.

Thanks for stopping by.  Stay warm, or cool depending where you live and I wish you time to get some quilting done.

Hugs, Cathy

Are you ready to come visit me? The snow is pretty but I don't want to have to walk or drive in it.

I envy your snowfall - we got a bit before Christmas but not much since. sigh. You're very ambitious to do two versions of that quilt - they're both great and won't really look anything alike when they're finished!

It's fun when the weather is bad and you get to stay in!! Looks like you got a lot done. TWO 365 block quilts?!> Aack!!

Your recent snow proved to be a positive thing. Glad you didn't have go out. Two quilts with 365 blocks each? You are an energizer bunny!

Oh, wow! I can't imagine tackling one of those quilts and you are doing two! I am impressed!

Barb said...
