No show, no snow!

Snow? Pah, rain rain and more rain round these parts.  But cold though, so I wore my new scarf all day.  Except for eating.

It is such a lovely huge size that I was in fear of it becoming a bit like Mr Twit's beard!  And because some of you asked so nicely...


After all the family-type business of the day, party drop-offs and a trolley dash round Tesco, I got on with the things I needed to get done, namely finalising my second Sizzix design, in the loosest sense of the word, and then cutting all the pieces...


I made one block up, after I had cut all the pieces, just to make sure it looked OK, I think it works...


On a roll, I then stitched and pressed the rest of the 100 HSTs too.  Even with the very loose weaved fabrics, those HSTs were perfect every time.

It is going to be a very white quilt top, but as balance to my mega-patterned #scrappytripalong, it is quite a refreshing must-make!

So that's my day, we are now going to relax and watch a DVD, well once the kids stop running about upstairs.  

Oh please let it snow in the night so I can shove them out the door at dawn!

  4. Love all of the white in your new quilt top, looks fabulous. You lot are obsessed with snow, i've got my fingers crossed until after tomorrow, as Rob is off to Slovakia and if it snows he might not go, and then i wont get to do so much sewing! Selfish or what.

  10. The scarf and block look great. We'd be more than happy for rain down here, I've been watching my dams evaporate from the heat we've been receiving.
