Snowed In

Snow day?  I thought you said sew day!!!  There is nothing like a good blizzard for getting some quilting done:-)

I finally got to work on my Madrona Road Challenge...  I'm not sure why I had such a hard time with this.  I liked the fabrics well enough individually but they just didn't work together for me.  It was also tough being constrained by the small amount of each print we received.  If I'd started sooner I could have bought more but with the deadline looming and a blizzard raging I had to work with what I had.  It's a little wonkier than I intended but I can live with it.

I got it basted, started quilting, then yes, ran out of thread.  Seriously, it's a gift:-)  Luckily we're dug out here and I was able to make it over to Quilter's Way to restock.  School is closed here again today so I'm hoping I can finish this up!

In the meantime I was able to do some FMQ on my Victory Garden quilt.

And I cut in to this stack of pretty polka dots.  I'm working on something for Valentine's Day but I'm not sure it's going to be done on time;-)
