I've had enough!!!!!!!!!!

I know it's only February but I've had enough of winter already. Last week the big blizzard. OK the snow I can deal with but this darn cold weather I can't. I'm tired of being cold and bundling up so much when I go outside I'm afraid if I fall over I'll be like that little kid Randy from The Christmas Story and I won't be able to get up again.

No sewing here but lots of knitting going on. I'm on my second scarf already, I can't believe how much I'm enjoying just sitting and knitting.

Been rearranging my fabric and quilting supplies. I have two tops that someday need to be quilted and 5 kits that need to be cut and sewn. I thought I had alot more so that isn't so bad. Now if I could only find a pattern that I bought at the Madison quilt show I could start that quilt.

Thought for the day

I live in Wisconsin. Is there anything else to say today?

GO PACK GO. HERE'S TO A PACKER SUPER BOWL WIN.................

TaDa first finish of the new year

Well, I did it. I finished my first project of the new year. A bunch of quilting friends and I got together to sew and I started this new project. It was really quick and easy and I needed a wall quilt that was small for a special place in my livingroom. I searched my stash thinking I'd have some fabric to use but no luck. So I did what all good quilters do and off to my favorite quilt shop I went. Ever since this fabric came in I've wanted to make something using it because it's so colorful and fun. So I went with it. The Cat in The Hat. It was perfect for this pattern because you needed 6 fat quarters and then I bought some extra for the border and the backing. All total this project took me a total of 8 days with not alot of sewing last week.

The pattern I used is called Flipping Six and it's by Nichole Gould, quick and easy and fun.

Now I just need to hang it up and smile each time I see it.
