Happy Birthday to ME!!

1-11-11

what a unique date....

trying to stay warm in PA

where we are expecting up to

8 inches of snow thru the night...

Red, White and Blue Scraps

I have quite a few scraps left over from a patriotic quilt

I made some years back, actually, it was my first foundation

piece quilt...I really enjoyed sewing that together...

but now I have so many scraps that I decided to make a

string quilt...I have seen so many of the quilters that have

made a string quilt and now I am going to sew one..what

a great idea on how to use up all of your scraps....

I have been putting the blocks together..

I am sewing 6.5 inch blocks which will be 6 inches when sewn...

I have to make a small block since my scraps are not that

long...they were precut for the quilt I made...

I hope that I have enough to make a lap quilt...

I may have to add sashing and a few borders...

I also have a star that is made from 4 of the blocks

from the original quilt and I thought I could use

that as well....

I will have to see how this turns out....

wish me luck...LOL...

Happy New Year

We are getting hit with a blizzard...wind gusts up to 40 mph....

I live about 15 miles north of Philadelphia...

The Eagles game was cancelled until Tuesday...

Philadelphia Mayor Nutter declared a snow emergency at 2pm today and told

everyone to stay off the roads...

My sister had a post-Christmas breakfast family

get together this morning...

as soon as we saw the snow falling (1pm) we started home...

visibility was not that great then.....

we made it home safe and sound....

no problems...

If you are travelling....stay safe....

Merry Christmas...From Me to You...

 

May your heart be lifted in praise this Christmas

for the wonderful gift of Jesus

and the joy He brings to our lives.

Have a wonderful Christmas

and a Blessed New Year
