Once again we are expecting a mid-week snowstorm but we are hoping for a smaller amount of snow this time around. Felix had me photograph a giant icicle before he knocked it down so that it could not hurt anybody.
Our Sunshine Club met at the Alton, New Hampshire Senior Center with lots of fun. Mary was using the new Go cutter to cut out some applique bluebirds in zany colors.
Sue is still hand quilting her big black/red/white quilt and only has about five squares to go. Atta girl, Sue!
Sarah was piecing on her pretty little Featherweight and here you see her adjusting her bobbin thread.
Sarah's blocks are beautiful all in Civil War reproductions with tiny pieces.
Sarah is using the Missouri Star Quilt Company instructions but I think that Bonnie Hunter calls this block, "Scrap Crystals."
As for me, I used the ping pong table to layout my Arkansas Crossroads blocks.
For the "X" blocks, I'm using a creamy off white solid called Cotton Supreme Canvas color from Missouri Star.
With what I had all made up for blocks, a 6 by 9 block pattern seemed to make the most sense and looked really pretty.
Here's hoping we get the 1 to 3 inches of snow or less tomorrow! We want Spring to come and stay!
Happy quilting!

Loving your Arkansas Crossroads!! It is super fun that you sew while it is so, so cold...hot chocolate seems appropriate??
I really like the colors in your Arkansas Crossroads! Hoping you miss the next round of snow.
looks great and love that canvas color....we are getting more snow in 2 days than we've had all winter...lol
What fun! And yes, more snow tomorrow. I don't mind, but my husband has a different opinion!
That is some icicle!!
Loving those Scrap Crystal blocks SO much. :)
Oh, your quilt is really wonderful. You make such great scrap creations!
Hunker down and sew until the snow melts.
That icicle looks dangerous! The blue and brown Civil War quilt is beautiful. Great way to use a ping pong table.
Happy springtime to the Parkhills! Your crossroads quilt is coming along nicely. I like the neutral background.
