Quilt Blocks & a Snowy Scene
Wow, this week is just flying by!
We've had ice, snow and frigid temperatures this week causing the schools to cancel or delay several days.
This of course makes my oldest happy.
Not the case though for my youngest two that I homeschool.
Schooling must go on!
Here are the quilt blocks that I have made so far. I just finished all of the Block 2's last night. Now I am ready to begin stitching on Block 3 which shouldn't take me too long as there isn't a bunch of stitching to be done.
I found a few more pieces of fabric the other day while out and about and I had to get a thimble too! My poor fingers are so sore from sewing through the double layers of fabric.
I've never used a leather coin thimble before but I think I prefer it over the usual metal ones.
This last picture is of the surrounding hillside blanketed in snow. It was so pretty out when I got up at 5:30 the other morning. The hills glistened in the moonlight. This was taken an hour or so later as the sun was beginning to come up. No where near as pretty as it was when I awoke but still enjoyable.
Stay Warm!

Jessica your quilt blocks are coming along so well. That's going to be a very lovely quilt. I know you guys are probably tired of the snow. I tired of the cold and rain down here. This has got to be the worst winter I can remember here in Florida.

Jessica, your quilt blocks are just so beautiful! I feel for your poor home schooled kids! hehehe You must be a slave driver! lol I'm seriously considering homeschooling my son. These teachers nowadays think they know it all. I'm sick of it already.
It's snowing at my house again tonight! Wonder if they will have school tomorrow!

Those blocks are beautiful! Do you use regular sewing thread or embroidery floss?
My son told me the other day that he could not believe he used to pray for snow when he was in school! Driving to work in the stuff sure isn't fun.
