We have a saying here in Texas - if you don't like the weather, just wait a week! Last week we had ice and snow and very cold weather, and this week it has been wonderful. It should hit a high of 78 degrees today - a little cloudy and breezy, but I am without the coat and scarf and am loving it!
I haven't quilted much in the past few days - I've been busy at the office and have had meetings or volunteer stuff in the evenings and by the time I get home, feed hubby (not to mention gather eggs, feed chickens and dog) I'm pooped and ready for bed.
I've almost finished quilting my country mystery quilt - it has been fun. I am doing SID on the pieced blocks, and trying out some new fill patterns on the applique blocks. It is taking a lot of time, but it has been rewarding. I am still learning so much each time I use my Gammill.
While surfing the web the other night, I came upon a blog by Arlette called Polka Dot Pineapple. She had a tutorial for the cutest pin cushion - I went right upstairs and made one. I'll post a pic of mine later, but for now here is a link to her blog: http://mousechirpy-polkadotpineapple.blogspot.com/ - she has several very cute projects and lots of tutorials. Love it!!
That's all for now - have a great day! Enjoy this weather!
