We got snow!
Yes, I may be one of the few who is happy about it, but we have had such a mild winter, we needed the moisture. My daffodils were starting to poke their little green heads out already! :-o This won't last~
we are supposed to be in the 50's by the weekend.
I didn't remember to take a photo last night until it was almost too late!
That is my little quilting cottage, and our neighbors roof. I don't use the cottage in the winter because our heating bill is high as it is, adding that would be too much.
These are some of the blocks I worked on at retreat~
My Mom & I are each making two with the same outer triangle/inner square color and will exchange our duplicates this summer.
Our rule was we couldn't buy any fabric, but use our scraps. ;-)
I didn't take along enough white-on-white to finish the outside corners of the blocks, so I sewed a bunch of centers. ;-)
The block is from Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks magazine, Issue 14 and is called 'Monkey in the Middle' by Jenifer Dick of 42 Quilts. We thought it would be a great stash buster! :-)
A snow day means a 'sew' day so I am off to do just that!
Until next time~
Happy Stitchin'!

That is a fun block. Can't wait to see your mom's blocks after you exchange this summer. Having a separate building for quilting is a great idea.
Those blocks look like fun and an awesome stash buster! I wish I had a quiet space to sew. I think I would just live in it ;D
Loverly!!!. I am finishing my last one- just have to sew the side pieces on. Will put a picture on my blog of the last few.
That is a really pretty block, and I love the colors you used. How wonderful to make a quilt with your mother.
A quilting cottage! A place to get away and hide from everyone in the house. I knew a lady who had a quilting cottage and she lived alone. I think she just liked the extra space for fabric, etc.
Wow that's a lot of snow, I love your blocks, they are so bright and cheery. Hope you stay warm.
The snow does look pretty. Those blocks are wonderful. It will be fun to see where you go with them.
