Snow Day


We finally got some snow and it's February 9th! Of course they made it out to be the "stormageddon" well almost.......the news people do love a snowstorm! We only ended up with about 4", hardly a big deal but a good enough reason for me to stay put for the day.
I have been working on some flying geese. These will be a long term project and maybe even a full size quilt! I am using the method that makes 4 at a time. It's very accurate and feels a little like doing magic. The centered deer in the top block was a happy accident!
I was thinking this might be fun to do as a swap. Is anybody out there interested? You can find a tutorial on how to make them right here on my blog.


I made this today as a gift for a friend. I found some antique stamps a few weeks ago and they included some very unique ones.....I will do a post on them another day. They do have some letters missing so I had to improvise with new stamps. The fabric in this pincushion is from Cotton and Steel called Flower Shop that I got in Houston last fall. I think it is coming out in the quilt stores now.

How sweet is baby Brynn? I spent the beginning of the week getting some meals ready for them and yesterday I spent the day at my daughter's house. I will go back tomorrow to give her a hand and next week if she needs me.

Sleeping baby, it's good thing

So far so good. She is only getting up once a night and going right back to sleep. Mom and dad are getting a good night's sleep! She took to breastfeeding right away which really takes a lot of stress off the mommy.
I am busy getting things ready for our annual getaway next week. As usual I can't decide what to bring. Right now I have about 5 projects, too many? Not enough?

  1. those cheeks! She looks like she's pretending to sleep in the first pic. So cozy looking! I'd be content to watch her little hands moving... I love baby fingers and toes! So leeeetle

  2. Thanks for sharing the sweet baby pics! So precious. :)
    And for sharing those lovely flying geese. I have not done a swap before, but I might be interested in this one. I have just learned that 4 at a time geese method and I love it as well.

  3. Darling baby girl!! Just adorable!!!
    I'm up for a swap of flying geese, as long as there's a way to make sure that everyone makes them the same size!! ;-)
    I do that same method making 4 at a time-- have been doing them for Temecula Quilt's little sew along. Easy and quick block to make that always looks great in different settings. Count me in!!

  7. I don't know how you get a thing done. I would just sit and gaze at her-- when I wasn't kissing and hugging her! That little pink hat...sooo cute.

  8. So happy for Cait and Jim that they are getting a good nights sleep. Very unusual. What a perfect baby. Those pics are just so sweet. Love your pin cushion and flying geese. I'm going to check out that tutorial on how to make 4 at once. 5 projects sounds good to me. I need choices because I never know what I will feel like doing. BTW. I started making hexagons. You and funwithbarb inspired me. I'm loving it. Quick and cute. Have fun at your get away
