Its hard to ride a bike in this kind of weather.

I finished the quilting on this one tonight. Straight lines around the blocks and randomness at the edges. I think I also perfected my "signature". Do you see it?

Back from the wonderful Colorado. Skiing was great. Seeing friends was great. Glad to be home.

My friend Annie calls this "snirt". It is yucky - piles of snow melting away in the rain. Vanishing before our eyes, replaced with crusty, dirty ice. I'm doing a snow dance again.

Oh forgive me - I've been so neglecting the blog lately. I am working on projects, work, getting ready to go skiing...it all just slips away so fast. There is light though - and that is slipping away slower these days. The picture above was looking west on Friday as I walked home. After 5 and the sun was just slipping down. The picture below does not convey the feeling happens in our stairwell late in the day. The sun comes in upstairs and bounces around until the stairs glow. Its wonderful!

This weekend was "finish off the project weekend". Or at least get started on finishing...So, I went to the store(s) and got batting, thread, fabric and stuff for finishing three projects. This is the first one - a wall hanging that I started years ago. It is now pieced together and quilted, just need to do some finishing embroidery and put some buttons on it. Then I'll bind it and it will also be the first step in my overall big project of the year - decorating the house. This is going in our guest room - it matches a picture that I have from IKEA with vases of the same colors, so they will be the inspiration for the rest of the room.


The next project: baby girl quilt. This one is so cute, I'm going to have trouble giving it away. But it will go in the pile of quilts on hand, because that is what I made it for. I saved a square to be added to later...I love baby animals. Again - Thanks to Carol Ann for the great fabric. It is basted, just waiting to get quilted.

Finally, I got fabric for the back of my "Madras" quilt. That's the crazy one made from Christmas fat quarters. I'm feeling really good about my progress on these three projects and I even started fabric organization with closet shelving.

So this weekend was a great one - hope yours was good as well.

Hello sunbeam. Its been a while...
Tomorrow I will post some pictures of projects I've been hard at work on this weekend and soon, very soon, I will be a good blogger again.
