{ Charming Stars }

Since the new year began, I've made two 38x52 baby plus quilts.

Shame on me for not taking photos of the them but they are identical to these quilts made previously. I was really lucky to have enough leftover fabric from the earlier projects to make two more. 

I even had enough coordinating backing fabric. {High five}

I also completed the Charming Stars quilt top.  The pattern is a freebie at Moda Bake Shop. It uses three charm packs and the blocks are a breeze to make. This pattern would make a great baby boy quilt (less blocks) or a QOV quilt with some red, white and blue fabric.

The fabric is Snowman Gatherings II by Primitive Gatherings.

After I took these photos I added two more borders, pieced the backing, and boxed it up for its trip to Utah for quilting.

When she gets back, I'll take more photos.

Confessions of a Fabric Addict

{ The Great Blizzard of 2015 }

 

Holy crap, we got a lot of snow in Southold! In fact, the entire North Fork of Long Island got a lot of snow.

 

 

 

You really can't tell how much from this Waterlogue watercolor conversion. Here's a couple from the clean up yesterday.

 

 

 

The foot prints ( actually, entire lower leg prints) on the right are mine. I had to wade through the snow to get to the house and the snow shovel. Before the snowblower could be started up we had an hour of digging a path from the street to the garage.

 

After we finished shoveling, blowing and digging out, we pulled out two folding chairs and sat in the sun with a cup of coffee and tea.  It was 19 degrees but felt like 70 in the sun. Perfect.
