Taking a Snow/ Sew Day



Yesterday was supposed to be a trip down to Wilmington to sew with S & C but Mother Nature had other plans so after some errands (YES I went to the grocery store too like all good North Carolinians do when they hear that word) I went down the little house just as the first raindrops started.


 I carried some items to store in TLH until the church has a yard sale Tuesday afternoon.  And all of a sudden I was loading this quilt on the Crown Jewel! 1 quilted a couple of rows too.



I finished quilting the Little H Quilt.  And I took time to load another quilt.
By then the snow was covering the lawn and looked so beautiful and peaceful coming down.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


This was a surprise - last year's orchid has been sitting in the sink all winter and has new buds - very exciting for me as I have never had patience to wait for them. Trying not to over water - must remember 2 ice cubes per week.

The Little House - 6PM

From the back porch  - the forsythia in the center was in full bloom  - we've had some very warm days this  February and lots of rain so many trees have blossomed out too.

Well I'm just going to enjoy the beauty and let Mother Nature sort it out!

  Amaryllis is just perfect.  I enjoy it everyday.

OH - OH


The other day when C & S were here I was trying to make some of the 83 more 3.5" H blocks for the Little H quilt that I stared in November 2018.
My perennial sewing plan is to finish one old project before I start something  new. That usually lasts until the end of January.


Well when I pressed what I had sewn - I had a little surprise! I now have about 50 "O" blocks.
Two days later  - I was ready to assemble the rest of the blocks for the quilt.

Get out the plan and get sewing.  



After a marathon sewing day yesterday  (I stayed home all day)

Poor lighting at 8PM

I think I will add a simple unequal border as the quilt is 81 by 81".  To large for a lap or sofa quilt but too small for a queen bed. I have lots of 5"neutral squares from the center blocks so I may use them.  

Today is Bee at ZUMC - hoping for lots of sewing inspiration and looking forward to seeing friends.
Glad to be back at ZUMC - only 4 miles and great place to meet.
