Holy Snowballs, Batman!

YIKES!  Lately, we’ve been on quite a rollercoaster when it comes to weather.  Maybe it’s my fault by buying and displaying this cute little sign in my sewing room???

We’ve had some really cold temps and some sleet and lots of snow.  And tonight we are to get some more ice.  ACK!  I am scared of driving on icy roads… so keep your fingers and toes crossed that it passes us by and we get none!  We’ve now used all three built-in snow days plus one more…sigh… so we will be going to school on President’s Day to make it up…really big longggg sigh.

I did, however, finish my “Holy Snowballs” quilt.  YAY!

Isn’t it just the funnest quilt, ever??

And so smart of the quilt shop that put the quilt and kit together.

It allowed them to use up the leftover bolts of all the collections that did not sell.

Very clever indeed!!

We did lose electricity for one of our snow days off…so was not able to spend it sewing.  But it did come back on and I am knee deep in a new Moda Bake Shop project…  it’s a fun one, too!

Stay tuned… grinning…!

  1. That quilt is so colorful and fun. Yes, it was quite clever of the quilt shop. After reading your weather report, I had to see where you're located, and we're practically neighbors! Do you go to the Sully Quilt Show?

  4. Your quilt says FUN all over it. I like how the kit was put together, using "left-overs".

    Look forward to your next Moda Bake Shop recipe. I know it'll be delicious.

  12. Hi Polly! Is this a pattern that can be purchased? Looks like it would work great with layer cakes. Thinking of you. Wondering if you have decided to retire. Retirement was the right decision for me even though it was a difficult decision to make. I miss the kids and faculty, but not much else:)
