Three cheers!
In spite of everything else going on – for ONCE I remembered that tonight is our drawing for the winner of the March/April Quiltmaker bundle!
I sitting here with a big cheesy grin on my face – new tooth included – because I think this gift-away has topped ALL of our previous records with more than 6,300 entries!
Weeeehaaa!
This is a great bundle, and it will soon be winging its way toward……..will it be you?
There are some projects that nearly bring tears as you take the very last stitch.
15 years. Where did they go?
It hits me even harder today I think with tomorrow’s birthday looming.
What has this quilt seen happen in my life over the past 15 years?
In 2003 we moved from Waxahachie, Texas to Irmo, South Carolina as the company that The Hubster Dave was working for expanded.
South Carolina was SO exciting and I loved every minute of the 5 years we lived there.
The snow is gone.
I mean, completely and utterly gone, even in those places where “the sun don’t shine.”
My van Moby is back up to the top of the lane way next to the cabin, and temps will be into the mid 50s today.
January in the south, you are a conundrum!
Where it’s been in the teens and 20s for the past many weeks, this is a welcome respite, but I’m not up to trusting this trend yet. We’ve had many an ice storm in February as winter gives its last fight toward spring. No, I’m not trusting this at all!
But yesterday, the shining sun in a blue blue sky was enough for me to not want to hole myself up in the cabin basement studio. I wanted to look OUTSIDE. I wanted to watch the birds, the deer, and I’m still treadle hungry --
Notice the chain of pieces behind my foot pedal? Yes – I was busy in the loft!
All of my ducks were in their proverbial row by 1pm yesterday afternoon.
Sadie and I headed out, waiting for the moment we saw mountains on the horizon. Can you see them?
There. In the distance, just below where the sky turns blue.
Tuesday and Wednesday’s snow was quickly melting – by the time I reached North Wilkesboro, NC hoping for a rendezvous with a certain vintage telephone chair (that I should have just purchased LAST VISIT!) the temps were already into the low 50’s f. SNOW BE GONE!
I love the beauty of a lovely snow fall, but it’s the aftermath of crunchy ice encrusted rutted roads that I don’t like.
As to the chair?
