First Snow/Fresh Face

This is what we woke up to this morning. Yes it's snowing in September.
Frost  Snow on the pumpkins!

Sun is starting to come out now, so it probably wont last. It's 42 degrees & starting to slide off the new roof.

This is the next Round Robin quilt top I had to tackle. It belongs to Mary Lee. There will be one more round on it after me. Hmmmm....

Here is where I went with it.... Yikes! I added the strips down the 2 sides, & blanket stitched the appliques that Mary G. had just fused on.

I also added a little free-motion threadplay around the guys in the boat to reflect the flowers on the upper area added by Jackie (to help tie them in & make more sense).


Hopefully Carol will be able to add something good to make it finished. I kind of wanted to chop it up & re-sew ala-Rayna Gillman, but didn't have the guts to do it on someone else's piece.
You might also notice that I'm playing around with the blog. Thought it needed a fresh face, & a bit of updating.

Brrrrr..... That first photo is beautiful Deb. Snow is early this year so maybe we got back home just in time? :0)

Love the snow pictures, but I'm glad it's you and not me, a wee bit early for snow!
