Snow day! I think all the schools in our county are closed.
I wasn't planning on making this until after January. It's a quilt back for a quilt I hope to longarm over Christmas break. I'm using panels! You know, those things that were popular in 80's and late 90's? I'm enjoying looking at the salvage edges with the dates and such.
These are really nice, quality cotton. I don't see myself ever making a printed tree skirt. I don't want this quality fabric to go to waste. Maybe I will start a trend. I did not purchase these. ALL of them were given to me. I have two boxes of them! I predict they will become backs to baby quilts, comfort quilts, holiday quilts... The posibilties are endless. This one is from the tree skirt.
This is from the Santa door hanger. It's Ohio Amish country quality cotton.
Here's the view from my sewing machine window. That's the buttoned up (but not too much for ventilation) chicken coop. I'll get the four-wheeler out to drive up there to feed them today. You can see the little cat tracks near the window. The cats like to make eye contact with me from there. Don't worry about them being cold, outside cats. They have insulated cat houses out of the wind on the front porch with fresh straw in them. They have a water bowl heater so that the outside water doesn't freeze. They get fed twice a day. They're living their best outdoor barn cat life.
