getting ready for snow

like so many, this morning ran to store and fitness in expectation of a couple of days of hunkering down...might even get to a few house chores...friday was taken up with lengthy visit to cable company....budget demanded a downgrade and went from 125+ channels down to 25+ channels with only a meager $30 savings....cable company obviously designs viewing packages to benefit the company and never the consumer.   but did sign me up to save another $11 off my mobile service that necessitated a new (and FREE) phone, a new learning chore.  but they transferred all my stuff to the new phone and got it up and running......then to the machine!

the little sew along piece is ready to baste.....pulled out binding fabric as well to prep that


another jo morton print so naturally the colors match...will probably hand quilt, due end of may.  

then a little project for guild.  someone had given away this adorable chicks fabric and it came in handy for this little quilt.

there is enough for the backing as well....it'll be machine quilted for a quick and sturdy finish.....i'm  hoping these spring-like plaids will appeal to some little one....it's for an Easter giveaway.  

maybe now can get the folding table set up and start tying the scrappy plaid triangles....would be nice to start february with a finish!

  1. We only have antennae TV, but I have to deal with xfinity for my Mom's service. Always frustrates me when I have to deal with them.
    Your curves finish looks really good. And you happy pinwheels should appeal to most anyone, I'd say!

  2. Pretty pinwheels! Yes television programing is expensive. Here in Minnesota it is necessary! I really like Discovery plus and that is just 7 or 8 $ a month ad free:)

  3. I get very frustrated with TV these days... bunches of channels and never anything to watch. I'm not good with turning on reg. channels and watching sitcoms or cop shows or whatever. The pinwheel quilt looks darling and will be well received. It's always helpful if you can get the backing out of one the fabrics on the front. (Said the gal who almost always has to buy a backing!)
