Green and White

FOR THE GREEN:

I finally finished Green Piece......well I thought I had until I took the folded quilt back into my sewing room and saw the "flange" fabric hanging on the ladder.  Well I wasn't happy but I have decided that I will NOT be putting it on.......if I were to add this flange I would have to take off the outer border so I could attach it.  What would you do if it were your quilt?? 

I hung it on my clothes line to get photos, the photos are not the best because of the angle of the line.  I will take better photos when I get it quilted, I will be taking it to the quilt shop to get that done, it really needs "special" quilting around the applique blocks. 



The colors are really much nicer than these photos are showing.

Now to the WHITE...........


This is what it looks like outside my windows this morning, it is very wet heavy snow that may change to rain later..........the words "power outages" are being mentioned on the news also!  I have made sure that things are in order in case we do have an outage, we are fortunate enough to have a generator but I still don't run everything with the generator......but I know it could run my sewing machine, LOL!  Before today things were looking up in the snow melting department, this is certainly going to slow that down.  I do realize that I am blessed to be warm and safe during storms like this but I still have to grumble a little.

Have a wonderful day, wherever you are, whatever your weather!

Fun In the Snow........

We weathered another snow storm, went out several times to clean the front ramp.  I also snowblowed a path to the chickens, it was "refreshing" to be outside in the blowing snow, LOL.  Here are some photos of the view from my sewing room........

This one is the snow from the roof (we have a metal one) it is slowly sliding down and curling towards the window.  It will probably completely slide off when we get some warmer weather, it won't be long now, I hope. 

Enjoying the weather.....
 Midnight usually leaves "puddles" when he comes in on days like this.

Hunter, thankfully the snow doesn't cling to him as much! 
I have to say that I was a bit "lazy" today, other than the above mentioned work I only cut the fabric for the Civil War BOM.....maybe tomorrow I will get to sewing.
