Well, it looks like both Punxsutawney Phil and Wiarton Willie both saw their shadows this morning which, according to legend, means we are in for another 6 weeks of winter. I think it’s time we got a new predictor – what the heck do groundhogs know anyway?
My Aunt gave me a beautiful amaryllis for Christmas and it bloomed last week. There are still more blooms to come, but it was certainly a welcome sight to see this on our kitchen table.
Lee came over for a sew day a week ago and we tried the Disappearing Pinwheel block from the Missouri Quilt Company. Both of our blocks were missing a point in the corner and my friend Diane tried it too and didn’t have any success either. Here is Lee’s block
and here is mine – Lee’s fabric camouflages the missing point much better than mine.
Here is Lee working on the tiniest little blocks from a Christmas kit she bought. She has more patience than I do – she wasn’t happy with the way they turned out, so she took them all apart and is redoing them.
I was working on what feels like my forever project. I bought this kit in Shipshewana many, many years ago, started it at a Retreat about 4 years ago and finally pulled it out again to get it finished. I’m getting there.
I have all the blocks finished, now I just have to get them all sewn together and there are two borders that need to go on. I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.
I also got this quilt finished.
This was done with two packages of Bali Pops. I don’t know why, but the quilting in the second picture almost looks raised – it’s just an optical illusion – it looks like someone drew the design on – strange…
My little girl always seems to feel the cold, and every time I see her lying here, I feel guilty. Why would she lie over the vent on a tiled floor? She has a gorgeous basket to lie in, numerous comfy chairs with quilts on them for warmth, but oh, no, this is where she lies. I swear she just does it to make me feel badly.
I’m working on another UFO and just have the binding to finish. Hopefully it will be done soon and I can share that with you. Stay warm…..only 45 more days until spring

Your log cabin quilt is gorgeous. One like that is on my todo list! Your modern squares makes me wish for spring. We are having the coldest winter in over 60 years and have had enough! My kitty craves the warmth too. We got her a low voltage heated mat and now that's her favorite.
