Kansas City was socked again this weekend with six inches of snow. The trees look beautiful but they must be cold!!! I am glad I can be inside and enjoy their beauty in front of a warm fireplace. I have gotten in a bit more sewing. All my Birds of a Feather blocks are back up on the design wall. As soon as I finish embroidering a few more birdy legs, I'll snap a photo. I am so not looking forward to sewing these blocks together as it will involve some dreaded set-in seams. No more "mystery quilts" for me LOL. I like to know what I am getting into! I am also ready to sew the rows of the strippy snowball quilt together. As I was working on joining blocks into rows, it hit me! This quilt is a ringer for Hawaii! The turquoisy teals are reminiscent of the beautiful ocean waters and the black borders look much like the black sand beaches. Even though Hawaii doesn't have "snowballs", I think I will name it something Hawaiian-ish. The son who will receive it absolutely LOVES Hawaii so I think that will work.
I'm glad I'm not a tree, too. But they sure look pretty.
ReplyDeleteour snow is all melted now-but I agree, the trees looked so gorgeous decorated in snow!
ReplyDeleteIt sure is pretty but oh my goodness it looks mighty cold. Stay warm.
ReplyDeleteI think our trees are happy to be snow-free again - and I know what you mean about the mystery blocks - I ended up altering my Jan Patek mystery quilt so I would not have set in seams
ReplyDeletegood luck

I love looking at the pictures, but I'm glad I'm not in it. =)
ReplyDeleteI'm anxious to see that BOF quilt, as well as the snowballs. Looking forward to it.
Sounds a good plan on that hawaiian snowball quilt - the weather in the UK turned much colder last night - we often get US weather a week or two behind you guys - could you please keep the snow and ice though - I really don't want that though I'm sure the three youngest in the house would disagree with me :o)
ReplyDeleteThe trees look very pretty. We go may an inch of snow yesterday here in Chicagoland. I hope some of your snow makes it here.
ReplyDeleteI'm also glad I'm not a tree. Isn't the snow beautiful but I'm ready to see the ground . . as muddy and brown as it must be by now.

Vera, can't you use partial seams instead of set-in seams? Partial seems may be a slight nuisance, but oh so much easier than set-in seams.
