Brrrrr


I had considered going out to take snow pics today. However, since the wind chill is at 0, as in "ZERO" right now, I believe I'll wait a bit.
Hope you're staying inside with a snugly quilt on this cold snowy day.
Until then, keep stitchin' . . .

Auditions

Since my sewing studio is still under "construction", I get to dream about future projects that will compliment my balcony railing. This one tops the list. Thank goodness the folks over at the Quilt Study Center have a vast selection to choose from.

Some folks envision (or escape to) warm tropical beaches in the cold grip of winter. Not me, ut uh, I dream of color in sparkling Amish quilts.

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .

Considering the wind chill


Please remember to bring your pets inside during this extreme cold snap. If they can't come inside, perhaps there is an outbuilding where a pile of hay can be placed, or rig up a light bulb in a wooden box with warm bedding and make sure it's out of the wind.

Now these fellas, you don't have to worry about, unless you're ice fishing of course. LOL

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .

Inspirational nature


This lil' fella came for a quick snack today. Luckily I was able to get a shot of him using my zoom lens. His coloring is inspiring, as I love black and white quilts with a touch of red. I even have one started (in that baggie stack you know), which of course is still packed.

So for now I'll just enjoy the colorful show and hope that these wee creatures find a warm spot to nest in on this very chilly 27-degree day.

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .

The world of Pandora


Even without the benefit of 3D, it's the most "color-full" epic I've ever seen on the big screen.

The creative genious in both technology and artistic merit is to be commended. If you've not seen the movie yet, as a quilter, I highly recommend it. And if you know any botanists, take them along also. They'll love the flora and fauna.

Until then keep stitchin' . . . .
