winter storms

Here we thought our spring was coming, what with all the water and lakes rising on our back yards...but this looks a lot like winter to me! We were getting alot of water around us, nearly closing off the roads, but with this freezing and new snow, it's all a beautiful white again. Inside we've been keeping it warm and cozy...and so grateful we didn't have to drive alot or be somewhere important. On another note, with spring (suppose to be coming) I've been in a painting mood and here's what been changed.

February's job!

So I thought I would try my hand at quilting...a good friend of mine does it and my sister does it...but it's not just sewing and cutting right I'm finding out. Looking at this photo you can't see all the mistakes, and while I am not discouraged from doing it again, I am thinking I'll find a different pattern and bigger pieces next time. It's not done yet...need to buy the fiber fill and quilt it to the backing which is a nice flannel...and NO, there's no grandbaby that I'm planning for...I think this one will go in the crib we'll have at home when the time is right.
