A bright and beautiful wintry morning! Oh yes, it is a heat wave, 20 degrees at 11:30 this morning.
Getting ready for foreast of snow, SNOW! Hope there will be enough for Great grandma's Snow Ice Cream and then it can go away.
For those of a 'quilty' bent, check out Pat Sloan's nice and very creative blog for a beautiful new quilt kit.

OOOHHH NOOOO!
Facing the fact that this blog is long overdue for updating, I made a resolution to work on it at least once a week this year.
Now for my SAD SAD story. the last quilt I made in 2009, for a friends son turned into a disaster. After weeks of work, it looked great.
Friend washed it before gifting to her son, and several seams came apart! It was a tied quilt and I have it back, trying to repair the damage. One of the fabrics she chose for the quilt has raveled out badly. I am afraid that it will require re-making, rather than 'fixing'. Not a happy thought.
Note to self: It doesn't matter how much you paid for the fabric, if it is not quality made, it will not do the job!
