When will it end?

This is getting ridiculous.  Since my last post, we’ve had a snowstorm:

An ice storm:

and another snowstorm today!  No grilling or sitting on the deck today.

I am very thankful for a warm house with no power outages, and an understanding employer that allows us to work from home rather than risk our lives to drive on the treacherous roads. 

I’m also extremely thankful for this wonderful package that I received in the mail a few days ago from Kaaren at The Painted Quilt.

I had seen pictures of Kaaren’s quilt on her blog, and I thought it was pretty cute.  Now that I have the actual pattern, I have to tell you that the stitcheries are ADORABLE!   The prize package also included the fabric to make the entire quilt.  Thank you again, Kaaren.

I missed out on OPAM for January, because I thought it didn’t start until February.  I’ll have a nice list for February.  I’m working like crazy on two quilts, and doing some hand work on each of them. 

And now I’m off to appreciate my Snow Sew day!

  15. Isn't that the cutest with the kitten in the snow. Sorry Sunny - I'm not feeling your snow pain at all. Our weather is 60 - 70 degrees - short sleeve weather. So happy for you that your power is holding up - that's a big deal. My mother's place was out of power for day. No heat! Yikes.
    I LOVE that snow quilt you received so adorable. Have fun making it.
