another snow day

following record heat last summer, i think that the number of snow days, and the amount of snow this winter must be a record….such extremes…. global warming….or maybe just an auspicious  year….

blessed by the snow goddess...

i finished up one of many quilts i have been sewing on by binding the edges… I will run it through the washer later today to see how it holds up and then do a bit more embellishing…… this was great fun to make….and was made totally with material on hand…backed with an old futon cover….

    Beautiful, and I love the small square you posted on from a couple of days ago. I am looking forward to dipping in to more of your work. I’m a beginning quilter and am wanting to incorporate more embroidery into my work as well.
