Happy St. Patrick's Day & National Quilting Day!

Happy St. Patrick's Day which is also National Quilting Day, yippee! I'm celebrating with socks!


Earlier this week we survived a big 19 inch snowstorm that took us a couple of days to get all plowed out and get the cars all swept off of the snow. Here are the before and after pictures.


Whew!


Last Friday the gals at the Golden Gese quilt shop had a really fun day sewing before the storm. Maureen's Florida friend made her a birthday mug rug.


The backing fabric is the Happy Birthday!


Maureen herself was working on small windmill pieces, look at these!


Maureen is also working on a knitted sweater for her granddaughter.


Beverly was working on her card tricks blocks and they look great!


Tammy was hand stitching a Baltimore Oriole project.


I had only stopped in for lunch with the gang but back at home I got some nice string blocks made.


These were the result of the box of strings that Julie K quilts had sent to me, thanks!



Happy quilting!

You have such great celebratory socks!
Wow--that was a dump load of snow (whatever that means)!
At least you were able to get out and visit friends before it hit.
The red "constant" in your string blocks looks good. I think using that technique really unifies the string blocks.

Hope the snow season is over for you, Vic! That's my preferred method for Card Trick, too. Nice string blocks in progress.

You are a pro at dealing with all the snow--you are a hardy bunch! Beautiful progress on all projects. When I see your string quilts, it makes me want to start one
