WIP Wednesday: Snow Day Number Two!


So it snowed all day yesterday.  Sure everyone knows about the blizzard, and everyone got snow, but it never stopped!  I don't think we've ever had a storm that didn't at least take a 20 minute break in the midst of snowing.


Yesterday, while we were all penned into the house, I managed to get a binding done and a bunch of pressing but today I decided it was quilting day!  Last night I pulled backing and batting and got it all loaded up on the long arm so I could just start as soon as the coffee kicked in.


And of course I waffled about how to quilt it.  I spent an hour scrolling through Instagram, then watched video after video on YouTube, then flipped through my sketchbook.  I finally just decided to do more graffiti quilting practice.  (Which was my first idea, so I don't know why I didn't just trust my gut instead of wasting hours.)


Luckily, once you get started, it's pretty easy to just keep going.


And one more picture of the snow.  Lucky has decided she likes the snow in the North better than the heat of the South!

  1. What pretty snow! We're having a very warm, dry winter here in New Mexico, it's 65* today and does not feel like January! Love the quilting, it's very pretty. I do the same thing, wasting time trying to decide what to do and end up just doing my first plan!

  3. Love your snow pictures! It's 79 right now in Fort Worth & I could use a chilly photo! Your quilting looks awesome! I wish it would snow here so I could stay home & sew all day. The season isn't over so it might soon. Have fun and stay warm!
