We have received a significant amount of snow in the last 18 hours. The start of 2017 has been dry and February was down right warm. We ended up with about 5" of snow since last night. It doesn't look like it will last too long.
The lake is looking cold and frigid. Momma goose has been working on her nest, but she isn't sitting yet, good thing.
The geese are just a little out of their element. They were hanging out by the road and look funny walking through the snow. One of them has ice hanging from the beak.
We will see what this weather does for DH's trip to DC. He was scheduled to leave this morning....his flight was canceled. He has another flight tomorrow morning. I think he will drive to Chicago today and drive home tomorrow. No one will cancel anything yet.

Here is the design wall this morning. The center applique needs to be trimmed down yet. I think some peachy leaf "things"might still be added to the center area. The rest is together. The body of the quilt has an inner border of white and you can see the dark burgundy going for the outer border. The outer green is actually the quilt hanging in the sewing room acting as a design wall at the moment. That is not part of the quilt. The fabric below is the outer border. All of the fabric above was found in the sew room....the print below was a visit to the LQS on Saturday. It has been washed and cut. The binding is done......hopefully it will make it to the machine Tuesday or Wednesday.
MJJR has an indoor track meet about 1hour away. Lola and I are heading off to watch. This is the first year MJJR has gone out for track. She caught her spikes on her first race....tore all the skin off her hip and forearm. Needed to spot treat the jersey. Hopefully tonight will be less eventful. She didn't wear her spikes after her spill last week and she has yet to practice in them due to weather conditions. Maybe she can work on it before her races today.
Happy Quilting,

Good luck MJJR! Your quilt is gorgeous. The batik fabrics are stunning - such rich colours. I do love an applique centre. Wish it was snowing here. We've had lots of rain though.
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful quilt! The border fabric will match (in reverse) so well, in color as well as design, with the pretty applique center. Great job! ---"Love"
