Pat got the pine trees on the driveway decorated with lights this week. I thought they looked great! He thought they would be good photos to show on the blog. He's right.
No quilting getting done today -- it's party time. I'm going to a volunteers dinner for the homeowners association. Pat is going to sing two concerts today. (I refused to join as the practice was the same time as a new quilt guild I had joined. Maybe next year.) Yesterday I didn't get as much quilted on Jenny's quilt as I had planned to. My back starts giving out and the hands start aching a bit holding the ruler in place. So, slow and easy will still get it done way before Jenny shows up. By the way, Jenny made this quilt not me. I am only quilting it for her. She gets to put the binding on -- all 456" of it.
The snow is about 4 to 5" deep and not too much melting go on today -- it's only just reached 32 now. Raggs doesn't quite know what to do in the snow. And, he doesn't have enough hair/fur left to keep him really warm. So we don't go play in the snow. We do try to have him do his business out there. I would imagine it would be pretty shocking to wake up first thing in the morning and have to go out side -- it's been in the 20's the last few mornings! Time to get Raggs out and then off I go.
Happy Quilting All!
That quilt is gorgeous...tho I don't envy you the job of quilting it or her job of binding it! The trees look just great!
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe the size of that quilt. I'm envious of Ruthie. Wish I had one. But it wouldn't fit in my 975-square foot little cabin. I do all my quilting on my featherweight so I only quilt minis and smalls and cribs. If I make a bigger quilt, I pay someone else to quilt it - which so far I've only done once. Take care. See you on quiltville. And don't forget to trim those *&%$ posts. : )
