snow day


Shelly a few weeks ago, sent me some tiny insane triangle blocks that I could put into my
Kitchen sink quilt. I did put one into the quilt, but the other 5 were so darn cute
that I made it into a 9 patch added the pink border,
and sent it back to her with a note saying,
"ROUND ROBIN! You're it!"
She in turn added the purple Kaffe border and the Bari J triangles and appliques
and sent it back to me.
We're on round three now...
And I just added the triangles stripe borders and the bows.

I've never done a round robin before, and I have to say, I love it!
And she's been a good sport, since I sort of sprang it on her... ;-)


I got a BIG box back from Linda today!
Inside the box was also an old top (above) I had,
and asked Linda to quilt it for me... It's so sugary sweet!
I love all the feathers she did on it...
Also in the box:
ALL 8 SIS BOOM POW kids quilts!
They look fantastic! What fun it will be to donate these glorious quilts!



Our snow day has been a quiet one... (not much snow) not worthy of a no school day,
but what are you gonna do... I think we got 4"... It's still snowing, but lightly and blowy...

B had been wanting to work on a small quilt... I tried to steer her to do a quilt based on Tonya's Amish liberated, but she would have none of that... I let her loose in my solid scrap bin, and she pulled out the little red and yellow triangles, I has sewn together... That inspired her to make it into a circus theme....

She pulled all my golden scraps, and had to piece them together, making sure the seams would then be hidden behind her seal. She found a picture of a seal, we enlarged it, and cut it out, and now she will have to learn some hand applique. She is begging me to do it, but, nope, mom said, time to learn a little applique!

Hope the rest of you winter storm people aren't to buried in snow!
Stay warm!
