Still Winter!

One winter storm is replaced by yet another and then another.



Will winter never end, we all wonder?




Today, Wednesday, was sunny but a bone-chilling high of 18°F driven with 43mph winds all day.


Freezing rain cancelled The Sunshine Club session yesterday.


And for a cool 28 hours, I waited for the owner of this dog to come and claim him. He is a 6 month old untrained puppy and he had several accidents in my home in spite of my taking him out every half hour. I should've just taken him into the shelter. Next time I will not give the owner such liberties with me as the Animal Control Officer.

The cute culprit (Australian Shepard)

There wasn't much time for sewing, but I did put some blocks into rows on that Scrappy Civil War Log Cabin, no pictures yet of that progress.


But I did do some bonus triangles from the flying geese units that I've been making from the Time Warp. They're a great leader/ender.


Mostly, I'm just praying we can keep our power tonight in the high winds.

Happy sewing!

I know you look forward to the day when your yard matches the photo at the head of your blog! It got up to 70 on Sunday, then a front came through and we've had 40's. I went to the beach today -- the pack ice along the shoreline is greatly diminished.

Your sewing projects are appealing, as always. Good for you to tackle those cut-away triangles now. [I like "cut-away" rather than "waste," because they aren't waste.]

Oh, poor Vic! You certainly need a quilt-meeting and soon, to recover from all this!!
But your first step is done : you did some sewing! ;)
And it's lovely!!
Hoping that the snow will stay away from now on and spring will come!
Here we say : this snow is chasing the old one and preparing for spring.
Best wishes!

My goodness, you have had enough winter to last a few years!
I really like your pinwheel blocks. Will you keep saving them up for a full bed quilt?
