Snow Day

Over the past couple of days most of eastern Canada and U.S. have had a major snow storm. We had ours on Friday. 

This is what it looked like before 10 am and before the driveway fairy came with his snowblower. 

Had to do this 3 times .

Between shovellings I was sewing just like many of you were.  (I know Sandy was )

Here's what I did...

This is Rock Star. When I do a pattern for Northcott it is usually before the fabric is even printed. It's all done electronically. They send the fabric to me when it's available and then I can make my sample. 

This top will be finished today. 

Then how do I quilt it??

I think I want to try something fancy.

Mother Nature is apologizing today so enjoy it. 

Back at it...

Happy Groundhog Day.  Our local critter did not see his shadow so we can look forward to an early spring.... YAY!!!

I decided that while I was waiting for the baking  I would go back to the studio and see where I left things the other day.

Here is what I was working on.

This is what it is suppose to look like. There is supposed to be a left and right side.  I cut 2 right sides by mistake and put them aside until I cut 2 left sides.


That was the plan.

Can you see the two on the left? Two different sizes and neither of them is the same as the two on the right... Like they should be...

This is when I decided to quit while I still had fabric left. It's fixable.

This will be the border on a design called Mountain Lodge. A sneak peak is all you get for now.

Got to go check the muffins

Arrrgghh!!

It was really nice to see some of you commented on a previous post. I really needed your kind words today because last night my computer flashed a dire sounding message before it went dark.
I live on my computer. I work there. I communicate there. I socialize there. So to be without it is NOT good. I'm in withdrawal and trying not to think of all the work that I did yesterday and hadn't backed up yet.

Off to repair soon.  Keep your fingers crossed for me. In the meantime I'm using my BlackBerry.

So thanks for your comments. The teapot is warm and, Sandy, maybe I'll see you stitching in a week or so.
