Another Snow Day?

It's time I updated this blog, but not much new has happened. We've had snow storms and an ice event, with another predicted for tomorrow. The big snow dumped 23" in the yard and most of it is still there.

I've shoveled, but have mostly been inside working on a variety of sewing activities. The borders for Lois' quilt are ready to be sewn on and I have to piece the corners. The octagon block quilt top looks fantastic! I've started making flying geese for the final border. And, not able to leave a new pattern alone, I started making little purses with a pocket and zipper. So far, I've put together 14 of them. I'll give them to the Tuesday morning quilt group and the Tuesday night group. I see them being used for buttons, applique needles, special thread. The kinds of things you don't need all the time, but want them close at hand when you're working. Colette also suggested that you could keep quilt shop punch cards or fabric coupons in the purse. Again, the idea is you can find these things when you need them.
