SNOWING AND SEWING
Posted By drsao on January 31, 2010
During the past two days of being SNOWED IN I had fun – I made a little SOUP (it was YUMMY) and I made homemade bread (it fell apart but it was WARM and ever so good) – I cleaned out some kitchen cabinets (such a feeling of accomplishment) and I SEWED……..YEAH.
I finished my latest CUTTING BEE project – my SECOND MILKY WAY QUILT! This one is for my grandangel Blake’s High School graduation this year. I was going to make all of the stars blue but at the last minute I decided to add a few burgundy and red stars in as well……TA DA….. (I know, I know – my FIRST MILKY WAY had blue and red stars in it too – OK – SO I LIKE RED AND BLUE STARS….and in my defense, this one has a BLUE outside border and my first one has a RED outside border!) LOL. Does anyone recognize any of their fabric in this quilt?

And I finished putting together my New Year’s Eve 2009 Mystery Quilt (Fabricaholics – designed by Ann Smith) – I am trying to decide on borders right now – but I am thinking one black small border, one orange medium border, and one large butterfly border……I am THINKING about it as we speak….. This one will be donated to the ICU Unit – via my Country Piecemaker’s Quilt Guild. I actually like the colors in this quilt – I just have this thing about butterflies. I know it is STRANGE but they look and ACT LIKE BUGS and this automatically puts them on my LIST OF NOT SO FAVORITE THINGS …. I am TRYING to like them……really TRYING! My friend, Catherine LOVES butterflies – I am trying but when I look at this quilt it just makes my stomach flip….honestly, it gives me REAL BUTTERFLIES IN MY STOMACH!

And….while I was thinking about borders, I made four more star blocks for my 30’s Club Quilt. It would have been finished, but I decided not to put in the PLAIN blocks but instead to put in more small star blocks…….so here you go – four more star blocks.

SO there you have the WHOLE STORY – what I did while it snowed! 🙂
