Snowy start.

It started in the morning and by dinner time it was a lot of snow. After dinner we all went outside and shovelled, used the snow blower and cleared as much as we could. We helped neighbours and it was still coming down. This morning when we woke up, it looked like this. The snow plow had not been and everyone is outside clearing snow again, after the plow comes past we will clear up again.
Leaders and enders that was finished. They are now in the box with the same sized squares.
The second set of border triangle squares got finished for Ladies of the Sea.
The applique blocks have not started yet, the corners have four Mariner's Compass blocks which are paper pieced as well. The rest of the quilt is applique with embroidery.
The applique block bag is coming along slowly. Made the zipper band and prepped the outsides for quilting. Baby steps, a little bit everyday is making this happen.
Another applique quilt has triangle squares as borders for the blocks, these are red and white. Pulled the pattern out and sorted all the pieces, making sure that the pieces that was cut before was the required pieces according to the pattern. They are now packed away until the colour red is called.
More quilting continued on the Jeopardy quilting the other night. This one is slowly chugging along. Birthdays and wedding anniversary all happening this week.

    1. So does this mean winter is now very unpredictable? Or is it because winter has a sense of humour, I wonder…

  2. snow, snow - I would get tired of the shoveling. I remember my son in law used a snow blower when they lived in Wisconsin - it was used a lot!
