Gee, guess what?

 It's snowing.

 Again or still, you choose.

This is what 40% chance of snow looks like.

Evidently I learned a different definition of percentages than the weatherman.

40% off of a yard of fabric I can calculate in a flash, but snow, no way.

I'm very thankful I can look out and enjoy it and not have to drive in it.

Dolly is too.

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .

Is it Skippy or the other guys, consumers can tell the difference.

Pileated woodpeckers are picky about their peanut butter.

Yes officer I admit I was speeding,

 

but you see, this box of 2" squares must be used up and fast. 

  And the light squares, goodness, they are a mess.

So yes, I was hurrying, but after all this is a 1986 Bernina not a corvette.

Besides I only have one more row to add to my glorified 9-patch and then I can get it quilted.

Sigh, sometimes the quilt police have no sense of humor.  

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .

"Why do mornings always come so early?"

 Asks Dolly.

 Because we were up late working on the latest version of American chain.

I'm actually working on 2 different versions of this pattern and will share some tips and tricks to create this design very soon.  If  you'd like to play along, assemble a variety of dark 2" squares and some background fabric.  Oh and be sure to locate your ruler which has 1/8th inch increments.  You're gonna need it.

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .

Let's give a round of applause . . .

 for the fact that I actually got this baby quilted!

Hip Hip Hooray, oh happy day!

A dear friend cleaned off her cutting table and sent me the scrappy squares, which I turned into a pinwheel block and framed in blue.

This is for a baby boy due in just a few weeks.

How are your finish-up projects coming along?

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .
