Snow update


I confess I didn't get a lot more sewing done yesterday afternoon. I took what was supposed to be a short break and started reading Karen Rose's latest book "Closer Than You Think". If you are not familiar with her books and you enjoy a good suspense then check her out. This one grabbed me pretty quick and I couldn't put it down.  Read until 11:30 last night and only half way finished (over 600 pages). This morning however I woke up doing the math on my Snow Quilt and decided it was going to be too small so I have already cut everything out for 9 more blocks. This will make 4 rows of 6 blocks each. Hope to sew a little on it this morning before I have to get ready to go back to work. Work sure is interfering with my sew time.

Happy sewing

Snow Day






I have been saving these blue and white fabrics for another quilt, but after I tried a block from my original pattern idea I wasn't happy with the outcome so the fabrics went back to the stash. After my plans changed yesterday due to snow storm I just wanted to do something different. This is Bonnie Hunter's Pineapple Blossom. I think I am going to set the block together with white sashing strips. I'm not sure about borders yet, it is still a work in progress. I'll get back to it and see if I can't finish before I have to go back to work.

Have a good day, stay safe and warm.
