Snow Day!


I almost forgot, to mark the first snow of the season in the blog. It was a little later this year than last, but still too early for my tastes, and my tomatos. They are covered up, but I doubt they will make it, as it snowed last night and most of the day today. Not much has accumulated as it rained between the snows. According to the weather channel desktop its a whopping 28 degrees right now! No wonder I'm cold, guess I should turn up the heat. grrrr.

I received the flimsy and was able to quilt, bind and label this sweet quilt today. I hope the recipient likes the quilting.

Inspired by

Dorothy and her quilt for Bevin. I loved the browns and blacks she used in her quilt and thought I would make a similar one for myself. Clearly not my usual color choice, but I love how it turned out.

anyway, here is my version.

Holiday Apron Swap

The ladies on the about.com quilting forum are having a holiday apron swap. My partner asked for fall/Thanksgiving for her theme. I used the same pattern I used on the last apron, Church Ladies Apron, and of course the big ric rac I love so much. I think it turned out cute. Pumpkins on one side, and cute turkeys on the other side.
