Snow Puts Sewing on Hold

I was fortunate to have finished sewing the t-shirt blocks together BEFORE the power went out. I am making the quilt for a high school graduate. I found fabric for the backing on my stash shelf and got it pieced and squared, too.

It snowed from about 10 a.m. this morning

until 6:30 p.m. this evening.

We just finished reheating soup and eating dinner when the power went out.

I am sure the 8" of heavy, wet snow that fell today took some trees down onto power lines. We have the generator going, but have it running the important appliances.

I am glad I fed the birds once I saw this cardinal looking at me!

I don't have a hand project to work on at the moment. So I guess I will work some Soduko puzzles.

Projects This Week

Another busy, creative week has ended.
Monday was a sewing day at the home of my friend, Marilyn. Another sewing friend joined us in the afternoon. I took the Schoolhouse Friendship blocks to finish adding the last row and sashing. I am excited to send it off to the longarm quilter!

On Sunday, my husband and I delivered the t-shirt quilt to the young man graduating from high school this week. We can't attend his party, and we wanted him to have the quilt early. He was amazed and very happy to have it. I made the quilt from start to finish (quilting it on my friend's longarm). My husband was my rooting section and helped with placement of the blocks.  

And between Monday and Sunday, I sewed

          3 of 7 letters for a Row Along blog hop I am part of in September, 2018,

Approved the Cut Loose Press pattern "Cranes Wallhanging" after sewing up another example to make sure the directions were correct. The pattern will be released at Quilt Market in Portland this weekend. This is a teaser photo for now.

Began another quilted item and worked on the directions to submit to Cut Loose Press patterns,

AND. . .

I made my first YouTube video--a tip on how to steady a wobbly thread spool on the sewing machine peg. I definitely have a bit to learn, but one has to begin somewhere!
