The snow is here … heavy snow, up to an inch an hour at times.
All that cold and snow is perfect chili weather … and perfect quilting weather. Not that I need much of an excuse to spend time with my needle and thread … ha! I’m still working on my Storm at Sea … hand quilting is slow going, but I’m making progress … and enjoying the process, so it’s a win-win situation. I’d show a picture of where I am now in my quilting, but it’s going to look just like the pictures I posted here, here, here and here. I’m linking up over at Kathy’s Slow Sunday Stitching (edited to correct link).
Our Ts had another swim meet yesterday … T#1 is a little under the weather but still managed to swim well, even knocking off a little time on a few events; T#2 cut a lot of time off every one of her events; poor T#3 was DQd on two of his events but did well on the others. I just love watching them compete.
Hope you all stay safe and warm!
Stay warm today. Chili and some corn bread sound like the perfect thing on a cold winters day. Enjoy your slow stitching.
ReplyDeleteGreat pic... and I thought I was cold down here in FLA! Nothing like negative temps to get you wishing for a cozy quilt to sew on and snuggle under while you do! Enjoy your slow stitching! Kathi
ReplyDeleteThat is the thing about hand quilting - if you don't do a different motif in each section then it all looks the same.
ReplyDeleteWe are getting the snow too - thankfully the really cold temps have moved off temporarily.
It does look pretty, but I think I'll keep my 80s. Brr.
ReplyDeleteSo glad I don't live in St Peters, MO anymore. We are going to be cold down here, but will probably not get any snow but there is a possibility. Hopefully the cold snap won't last too long, that is worse than the snow. Have fun stitching!
ReplyDeleteThe weather is awful here today. Snow is pretty to look at but not very nice to live with. :-)

ReplyDeleteWow a blizzard. Stay warm today and enjoy that stitching. I was looking through a Pottery Barn catalog and there was your Storm at Sea. I thought of you.
ReplyDeleteWhen it is cold my thought always turn to stitching up some quilts. I have been going through my patterns I have around here for some. I really would love to make a king size for my bed. The only problem, I can never decide red and white or blue and white. :)
Have a lovely day, watching the snow.
I'm so jealous! It's just lovely! I'm glad you get to sit inside in the warm and just enjoy it. That sounds just perfect.
ReplyDeleteWestern Pa here...we are only to get 3 or 4 inches as rain will come first. Though it's pretty cold right now; not sure if it is going to warm up enough for rain.
ReplyDeleteAnyway the cold temp forecast is like yours, as far as I know. They say wind chills of -30 or worse on Monday night / Tuesday morning
Hi there, Your weather sounds like ours but a bit colder! We have about 8" of snow on the ground and stayed in all of yesterday, aside from shoveling the driveway & sidewalk. Today we have to go to the market but I think the rest of the day will be quiet-watching football. I don't like going out when it is like this Tomorrow we are heading to the mountains for three days; we were hoping to snowshoe but it may be too cold.
ReplyDeleteSending lots of love your way.

What a cute little blog Kathy. Love your hand quilting projects, especially all the little hexies!!! It might be a quilting day here in Alberta as well today! We are at -32 C(-26F). It was so cold last night I didn't go out to plug in the car, I will see if it starts today ; )
ReplyDeleteInstead of calling it Storm at Sea, you can call it Snow Storm today! Enjoy your hand quilting! Thanks for linking up to Slow Sunday Stitching!
ReplyDeleteHope you're not sending that snow our way in New Jersey - we've had enough last week! Stay warm!
ReplyDeleteStay safe and warm, you are being hit hard this year! Glad you got some hand quilting done.
ReplyDeleteI clicked on the link and looked at your quilt. Love that blue. If you end up snowed in for a bit, maybe you will have some more time for your hand quilting. Take care.

ReplyDeleteI'm in SW Ohio, and we're supposed to get the snow/cold later this evening. If we do get a lot of snow, I hope it is enough to get a "snow" day from work. Then I could certainly get some stitching in! Be safe :)
ReplyDeletestay warm, i'm in n. west georgia and it suppose to get really cold here
ReplyDeleteI think you'd have to pry me out of the house with a crowbar if it was that cold here! It is pretty though. Enjoy your cozy warm stitching.
ReplyDeleteOh snowing here in Ontario too with I am sure colder weather to follow. Great excuse to sit and stitch!!
ReplyDeleteWell, the wind is howling here and the temps are falling to 19 degrees tonight. Lowest temps we've had in 3-4 years. I'm thinking tomorrow will be a Gumbo and cornbread day for us. Stay warm and enjoy quilting.
ReplyDeleteStay warm! We're heading towards home in the morning - a little concerned about the weather. ~Jeanne
ReplyDeleteThe cold is supposed to hit us tonight and we're getting some snow right now. Yuck!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I take it your hand is better?
ReplyDeleteA pretty photo, it's raining here with the temperatures getting ready to drop sometime today. I did all the errands I needed to do before the rain started now I plan on staying inside and warm! Soup weather for sure! Stay warm
ReplyDeleteWay too cold for me here and there is no snow! It's beautiful but oh, I long for the warm weather to come back!
ReplyDeleteI'm thankful the snow stayed south so we go celebrate my mom's 82nd birthday in NE Iowa last weekend. Sorry you're stuck inside, though.
