the snow the talking heads were yammering about finally arrived...it takes only the mere mention to work marylanders into a frenzy and our measly 6" crippled the entire area. i didn't tell them that in maine a puny 6" doesn't close or stop anything. you just pile on the wardrobe and adjust. i avoided the panicky hype and sewed....my challenge project moved forward quite nicely....
there are now 3 circles done and auditioned the brown as a foundation fabric. one more to sew up before can applique them to the foundation. thought i would use a lot of hexies--it seemed like i was constantly cutting up pieces--but noooo.....so while i sewed, pondered ideas to use up more...
pulled out these, given to me by late friend marianne....
i don't have a lot of light kaffes suitable for backgrounds so chose this neutral--boring i know but it works and will be used up.
another day home bound...so more sewing no doubt. switching gears briefly to get the binding on the 'oz' project and get 'wildest dreams' in the hoop. no outing plans until friday so long stretch of time ahead...there is that laundry tho...yesterday made applesauce and fresh tomato spaghetti sauce, and there are plenty of frozen meals at the ready. housework only comes before quilting in the dictionary you know...so keep calm and soldier on!
