Icy Weather Ahead

At least that's what I hear!  We shall see what happens.  If we do get the bad weather our Quilt Guild meeting will be cancelled for the 2nd month in a row!


The chickens are enjoying getting outside and go out just about every day.  Icy weather may keep them in.  Every time they hear me any where near the door wall they rush over and stand there staring in to see if I will feed them some tasty morsels.  It is funny, but drives the dog nuts!

As for quilting, I am finished quilting the small green and pink quilt I am making and am now I'm on to hemming the binding on.  YAY!



Progress is being made. 

Today I am linking up with Cathy at Sane, Crazy, Crumby Quilting.  She makes some unusual quilts and I really liked her purple Wonky Log Cabin.  Visit her here


Keep on Quilting!

A new baby blanket

It is bitter cold outside, so glad I didn't have to go anywhere today.  Instead I spent a little time watching TV and doing some sewing.

I made a blanket for the new great grandson to be.  It is cotton on one side and flannel on the other.




I also started quilting the flimsy I finished the other day. 


So, that was my day!  Hope there is something good on the TV tonight.

Started a scrappy

I have been working on a quilt for a new great grandson.  It's a scrappy and it has been so much fun.  I will have to look for more material for cute center pieces and make more squares.  Anyway, here is what I have so far.


So then I thought I would throw in another winter picture for you all to admire.


Hope the weather is nice where you are at, maybe you'll have a swim like the ducks in the photo.

Keep on quilting my friends,

A Flimsy is done

Hi all,

For two days I worked on another small quilt when I pulled out a pack of charm packs from the cupboard.  UFO's?  What UFO's, lol.  They are still sitting in a pile waiting.

I had fun doing this one, it was fast and easy with pretty colors. Hubby is holding it up for me.


Now I am starting a scrappy baby quilt, 3 squares done, more to do today.

Tonight hubby and I are going to our Beautiful Pines Theatre to see Hidden Figures.  I think it going to really good.

Hi everyone, and a good day to you.

My hubby is having a good day today also, he finally sold his car and is getting his new truck.  A Chevy Colorado I believe.  So happy for him. ( pics later )

I am happy to say that I am just about over this cold, and after a week and a half I am so ready to be over it!  Seems like forever if you know what I mean.

We are going over to my friend Marilyn's for some sewing today which is always fun.  Socializing and chit chat and some hot tea and cookies.  Always does the heart good.


Now doesn't this picture just make you feel cold?  It was taken in taken in Traverse City, Mi.  Not sure when it was taken, but I know we do get the wind up there and with all the icey stuff we get, whew!  As for us, we have been getting a Spring thaw in January!  Go figure.

Well, I hope to be getting back to some sewing now that I am feeling better.

Until later,

Been working on my blog

I must say it is not always easy keeping up a blog!  I have had so many problems trying to get it listed on Bloglovin.  I ran some tests on my site, fixed a few things, and it still wasn't working.  I was about ready to switch over to Word Press, but I contacted Bloglovin and a lady there put it on for me.  Whew!  I really did not want to change and start all over again, and I do really like using Blogger.  I have also been trying out new headers and I think I have come up with one I like...at least for now!

I haven't done any sewing at all as my husband's cold finally caught up to me and it is a dosey!  My nose feels 10x bigger than normal, and I even had a day of chills and aches.  So I am still resting up.

Let me know how you like the new header.  Till next time,

Good Morning

Wow, so many people are having weird weather lately.  Here in Mi. it is going to be almost 40 today!  That is so unusual for January.  We have had a lot of ice so I'm sure it will melt and be pretty messy.  Hope you all are doing OK where you are at.

I am trying to work out the bugs on my Blogger acct. Also been trying out Word Press.  Don't know yet what I am going to do there.



Got the borders on the 2 charity quilts I've been working on, and that is as far as I've gotten.  Spending way too much time on my computer, and clearing ice! lol

Are we all ready for the big day tomorrow?  Inauguration Day!  I just hope everything goes peacefully.  So many "nuts" out there.    I know I will be watching.

OK, that's it for today, back to my blog site and see what's going to happen.  Have a great day!
