Snow day!

Well winter is indeed here in Wisconsin.  Last Wednesday we had 10 inches of snow and got to stay home.  And last night we had another big snowstorm and another day off.  That is a bench on my back porch and you can see the snow is up to the top in spots. The snow plow blocked the driveway on the pass later this morning. Fortunately, we had nowhere to go and we bought a new snow blower for this season. The previous one  was still working but over 40 years old from DH's dad.  The snow will shift as the winds approach . I just saw the news and it says almost 60 below chill factor on Wednesday morning.  It looks like a record.

But  I have been working on a new project which involves Woolies fabric. I am slowly getting a few blocks done and some of the setting patchwork. This flannel is easy to work with.

The Over the Moon pattern is below from Thimble Blossoms, but I am using the brown tweed in replace of the navy.  I had a Woolie layer cake to choose the plaids from. It was easy to order the pattern online.

It feels good to work on the machine.

  2. Ooh, your wool bear paws are delightful! Enjoy the serenity of your winter snow in Wisconsin. In North Carolina, we have bleak, gray skies and no beautiful blanket of snow to make it all worthwhile. I miss a true winter, being down here!
