It is officially the 3rd largest blizzard in Chicago and I have lived through them all! Here are a few photos taken around this morning.
A snow day...sew what's a quilter to do? Of coarse, sew!
I started by finally cutting all the squares for Little Miss Shabby's Birdie Stitches-BOM and getting a head start on preparing the squares. I also traced the 1st BOM...hmm...block 2 has been released. I'm a little behind. Pictures soon!
I then got started on cutting the fabrics for block 1of Block-a-Palooza. This pattern, Flying over Fields, is from John over at Quilt Dad. I got that all sewn together.
Sew I moved on to the next pattern, Word Search, by Elizabeth over at Oh, Fransson. Cut and sewn!
The next pattern, Shoofly Geese, is by Amanda at sasikirana handmade. Done!
Tomorrow the 4th pattern is released over at Cherry House Quilts. Now I'm ready...bring it on!
I also finished my mug rugs for the secret swap. I hope my partner likes them. They should be in the mail soon. Are these for you? I'm not telling!
I planned to send these to Corrie for Quilts for Queensland yesterday however Mother Nature postponed my plans by sending the blizzard. They will be in the post soon!
A productive snow day and we have another tomorrow!
What will I get done?
