I'm up at 1am. I'm like a little kid excited for the "big" snow to come. There's up to 14" of the pretty, white stuff supposed to happen. Churches had church last night in anticipation of the weather. It was supposed to start at 7pm last night. Only a dusting happened around 9pm. I'm up early piecing stuff at my sewing machine watching out the window for the fluff.
In slow stitching news, I've been working on a big green charity quilt. It's a good one to sit under and watch tv in the evenings.
Here's a pic of the quilt top to jog your memory... I still have a ways to go on the binding.
I got a few more rows of floss stitched onto my Kwandi project. This seems to be the most popular project with the kids. They are very interested in what I am doing with this little table topper more than the other quilts. It's funny what motivates kids. I had a small group having "Fun Friday" time. If they were good, they got to stick their hand in the bag and pick which color of random floss would go when my piece of floss ran out. Four different kids go to pick due to Fun Friday, inside recess, and lunch bunch in the room. I was thrilled that they were interested in my project vs. playing a game on their iPad or watching a movie. I think they just wanted one on one time with a grown up and a little extra attention. That's one of the very rewarding times of my job. I love it.
I finished the binding on this 77" x 104" bubble gum pink/navy charity quilt this week:
