Before the Storm.........

Image may contain: indoor

I thought I'd get a post done before the storm hits.  I worked 6-12 this morning and I'm tired! I decided to be proactive so I've been charging my devices in case we lose power. We're supposed to get a combination of snow and sleet. It doesn't sound very good. Anyways, here's the finished pin cushion! It used up almost all of the crushed walnut shells I had. I'm going to have to buy more.

I started to quilt Green Tea and Sweet Beans. I've been looking at finished quilts online. This is my version for quilting the border. I made some feathers and surrounded them with some good sized pebbles. I'm loving the texture.

This is just another view of the border. 

If you're in the path of the storm, be careful and stay safe! Hope it's not as bad as it sounds!

    1. Thanks, Dawn! I don't think the storm was as bad as forecasted. I'm so glad we didn't get frozen rain. If it would warm up, I'd be happy!

  3. I don't think I've ever seen pebbles and feathers combined like that. I think it makes a great combo and sets off the vines and flowers nicely.

A Couple of Finishes

The Christmas table runners have their binding! I started sewing the binding on the runner on the left. They're not very large so it'...
