Ready to Quilt

I finished a top I started several years ago. It is a disappearing 9 patch with blocks I exchanged in a swap. I finally got the border on and am going to send it to Sarcastic Quilter to quilt. It is a throw that will be just the right size to snuggle in.

We had snowy weather again today. I think about 5 more inches to add to our 20 we got earlier. Tonight the wind is piling it up so we will have to clean the drive- I am ready for summer.

My next project will to finish a jewel box top I started last year. Happy sewing

I won again

I won the giveaway from SarcasticQuilter- maybe I should buy a lottery ticket ; ) She gave some really nice prizes and I will post a picture when I receive them. Thanks for the giveaway.
We are still in the deep freeze in South Dakota although the sun is shining. It was -8 degrees when we left for church.
Some friends from my guild are going to make blocks- Someone is buying the focus fabric and we will each buy a yard. We are going to make 13 blocks of our choice. We will each receive 12 and the 13th one will be made to give to charity.
Hope you are all having a good start in the new year.

My Prize

Just wanted to show you all the thread I won in SewCalGal's giveaway. the colors are all so nice that I will use everyone. I would like to thank Sew Cal and I Have A Notion for donating the thread.

We belong to a card club and our card party is Friday night at out house. Also on Saturday our quilt Guild has their 1st. meeting for the new year. It is a work session so we are there all day.
Finally got all the snow moved that needed to be. 20 inches is al ot of snow- even in South Dakota. Am anxiuos to get back to sewing but may be another week. My DIL and grandson offered to do some painting for me so can't turn that down ; ) Be Happy!!

Our snow

I won- I won

Hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and that Santa brought you all you wished for. We were snowed in but our son and grandson managed to get here. Also our SIL and BIL. They had 4 wheel drives but very few people were traveling. We have had 16.5 inches of snow and expecting a couple more inches today plus strong winds so as soon as it quits we will have to clean it out.

I had a nice Christmas surprise as I won a gift of thread on sewcalgal's virtual Christmas show giveaway. Hope you had time to visit her show. I picked up some ideas from all the Christmas quilts and wall- hangings

Charming Chatter giveaway

Did you see Kelly at Charming Chatter is having a Christmas Memories Giveaway? She invites us to visit her store where there are lots of pretties. I love this FQ bundle~ Hushabye by Tula Pink. Although we have a few nice shops to find fabric~ no one carries anything like this!

My favorite memory is when our DD was bringing her friend home to meet us during the holidays. Before they got to our farm, a blizzard started and we were worrying about them (no cell phones then). She had told him to turn off a mile too soon and he told her they had just crossed the bridge and how far was it. She panicked~'bridge!! there's no bridge on our road!!' :-o There wasn't a bridge on our road and they were stuck. Luckily someone came along and helped them and they finally made it but were stuck in our drive where the car sat for 3 days. He got to know us really well and they did get married so it ended happily.
