Well here it is April 5th and we got more snow today. Oh well! I just KNOW that Spring is right around the corner! So Get here already!
Here are some pics of what I have been doing in April. My little 4 pound chihuahua Canayla insisted that she REALLY wanted to be with me while I sewed! Which was unusual for her, normally she likes to snuggle into the flannel scraps box and supervise me from that spot.
Here is the finished quilt, Lynn bought the fabric and started making the trip around the world. Then last year right before my birthday, her dad passed away so she couldnt finish it without crying. So she gave it to me on my birthday last year, and for my birthday this year, I had it quilted and finished and showed it to her when I went to visit her last week. And of course Canyala was inspecting it to make sure it met her approval. I know she likes it when she licks it. I called her name so she stopped licking long enough to look at me while I snapped the camera LOL.
Some Easter cards I made and mailed to close friends. Only heard back from one person that they got it. I hope everyone else got theirs too.
My two daughters on my birthday! Ju Young drove over from Seattle on march 24 to surprise me for my birthday! Isnt that such a great picture of my two daughters! Ju Young is 20 and going to college. Melodie is 19 and thinking about life still.
All the various star blocks that were made for my birthday, from the birthday block swap on the Loose Threads group. I love them all! Now I will put them with the applique ones I got last year, and start to finish making my Robert Callahan styled quilt! Which is in its third year of being a WIP.
Here are the black and batik blocks that Lynn and I made while I was at her house for a couple days to celebrate my birthday. She made all the same blocks but using some different colors. It was alot of fun.
THis is a love quilt that I am putting together and quilting. It is challenging for me to set it on point, and I JUST BARELY had enough of the yellow print for the setting pieces. I had wanted to put a border around of the same fabric to make it bigger but I didnt buy enough of it. Fortunately I do have a nice green that works very well with all of it.
we have 2 feet here in town
Just leaving the outskirts of our town, the last of the houses before we see prairy
parking lot at the grocery store, pretty bad when the snow berm is halfway up the flag pole!
Destination reached. This is the front yard and drive way of our friends house. See how much more snow they have than we do??? Only 20 minutes away from our house. And by the way thats not snowblower berms, that is actually his yard, if you walked into the yard you would be buried up to your chest!
Another friend, and this is her standing in the pathway that they had to shovel to get in and out to the car! SHE and her hubby just moved here from California 2 years ago and this is their first real experience with a real honest to goodness Idaho Winter! Like I said, we have had dry winters the past couple years so this was definitely long overdue for our neck of the woods.
This is inside the house, see all the snow packed up against the living room window. Hahaha.
