Blizzard!

No school on Friday meant I could sew!
I love when that happens.

I started this post a few weeks ago. For whatever reason I wasn't getting pictures to upload using the ipad. SO....here I am finally getting a post done on the laptop.


I sewed all the rows or months for my temperature quilt while it snowed and snowed.


This was a couple weeks ago. Since then we have had a wonderful warm up, including a thunderstorm one day. Then last weekend it was another snowstorm, and another snow day. This was followed by windchills below zero. March in northern Iowa!
Now I'm home because of spring break and sewing on my gypsy wife quilt.

This is sections 1, 2, and 7.
They all use the same strips. I am using what is long enough and sitting on top of stuff for easy access. I hope to get this top done before the break is over.

I have lost track of when I got this next quilt top done, I only know it was in the last few weeks.


All excited! Another top finished! Then I looked at the picture and saw it!
Dang, a block is upside down.
Out comes the seam ripper.

There. All better.

The temperature quilt just needs its black borders attached. They are cut and ready to go.
We had a VERY nice November. All of last fall was nice!

Block Lotto this month is blue and white stars. I should have made more for more chances to win. I love these blocks and think the quilt will be gorgeous.

That's it for now. Back to the giant puzzle of fabric called gypsy wife.
