snowing and some finishes

Yes I said snowing.
Yesterday we had a balmy 5 degrees celcius. That's warm for this time of the year
in Ontario.  Our snow just about gone.

Now the weatherman told us it's going to snow. So be prepared.
We expected a storm like no other, but we received maybe 4 inches of the heavy stuff.
Here are some pictures out the front of our home.
See no where near what they forcasted.

Well I have been sewing up a storm and still have
more than half of the quilt to finish.
Somedays I just can't seem to get inspired enough to go to my sewing studio.
Do you have days like that?

Mr DH HAS BEEN BUSY IN HIS WORKSHOP AND HERE IS HIS LASTEST...M 1 ABRAMS TANK


Mr DH PUTS IN A NUMBER OF HOURS OF LABOUR MAKING THESE.
ALL ARE CUT FROM SALVAGED WOOD AND THEN ASSEMBLED.
THESE ARE NOT A KIT.
Yes he is very talented.

NOW REMEBER THE LAST DAY TO ENTER MY GIVEAWAY FOR THE 4 FAT
QUARTERS IS FEB 27.
                                                GO HERE IF YOU HAVEN'T YET ENTERED.
                                                         GOOD LUCK TO ALL.
until next time, Linda

snow day and a giveaway

                It's been snowing all day and the sanders have just come by.
                    Oh well it's winter still here in Ontario, Canada.
So I have been in my sewing studio sewing my little heart out.
I'm making a queen size quilt for my eldest grandson.

This is the fabric I picked out and started cutting 2 1/2 " strips.
I find that my June Tailor Shape Cut Plus works best and cuts the time in half.
The rail fence pattern goes together with ease.
Sew 3 stips together than cut at 6 1/2 " intervals. I get a total of 6 cuts from each.
I need a total of 224    6 1/2" blocks. Well I have a long way to go.

Just a reminder that my giveaway is still on til Feb 20.
                                           Go here to enter.
                                                 Good Luck!
