wednesday doings

getting ready for uber-cold here, which in maryland speak means 30 or less...LOL!  well i guess it'll be very cold with wind chill.  my maine family getting much worse....take a look.

the only good thing about temps like that is the likelihood of sea smoke, which is just beautiful!

have fully recovered from my stairway spill and walking pretty good again...also managed to get caught up on household stuff.  ***  a few UFOs getting closer to finish....pulled this out and now hate to put it aside...

finished the first of 4 blocks with planned border of swags, that's IF i can find the matching green.  it was set aside but now appears to be long gone, got used i guess.  i do have some of the maroon fabric but not enough i think.  this got started after a visit to BAS (baltimore applique society), a meeting on vintage red/green quilts. i think i'm hooked on applique now....

valentine piece done and ready to deliver.  happy to infuse some delight into DD's life, one that's had many more heartaches than most.   Miss Sunny was introduced to the walking foot and performed just fine.

and have auditioned a few fabrics from the stash for "tuscan"....still no aha so will wait for lancaster.  have postponed my trip to a warmer day, better for moseying.  am leaning toward a yellow gold rather than the light...but will depend on what is available.  this one here is too dark...too bad as i have about 3 yards on hand.

another housing interview...if the next move is another disaster, just might resort to a hemlock milkshake...not really, but it is more than wearying and annoying.  revolting how many of these housing people are totally dishonest in what they say....sigh
