Although we haven't had anymore snow, the weather has not been good. The temperatures are low and the wind chill just makes them lower. The temp was -1 this morning without the windchill. Ugh. I've gone out most days and noticed there aren't as many cars out there. I think a lot of people are staying home and trying to keep warm. I've made 7 blocks as you can see in this picture. They're getting faster to make. They measure 6.5" square. The Facets quilt is really coming along!
I went to a quilt shop one day and bought a few more turquoise fabrics for this round of the Facets quilt. It's such a pretty color. I'm surprised I didn't have more in my stash!
Now that Laurel Ridge is completed, I needed a label. I used the alphabet on my sewing machine and got this one done today. I added some interfacing to make it a little more stable. I always add the label and then wash the quilt. Then, the quilt is finally finished!
Well, I heard our temperature may finally reach over 30 degrees on Monday. It will feel like a heat wave! Stay warm!!
Such lovely facet blocks in this round, Rosemary...pretty fabrics in those tealish colors...so so cold here, too. And no snow melting
ReplyDeleteAT ALL!! Stay warm inside hugs, Julierose
Thanks! I hope that snow melts one of these days! I'm so tired of this cold air. It's too much!
DeleteOh, what a cozy combo! 🧵❄️ “Quilting and Freezing” makes me imagine a perfect winter day — working on a warm, colorful quilt while the cold winds blow outside. There’s something so comforting about creating something handmade while staying snug indoors. Love the vibe this evokes! ✨🪡
ReplyDeleteThank you! Yes, cold temperatures and quilts certainly go together! Thanks for visiting my blog!
DeleteYou found some pretty fabrics for Facets, Rosemary. I like the label you made with your sewing machine. I never think to try that. Hope you get the warmer temps.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jeanna! We finally hit 30 degrees today! I'm hoping some of this snow melts. I don't think one day is enough.
