Current project I'm working on in front of the tv in the evenings is the embroidery quilt that my grandma did 50 years ago. I am slow stitching a light blue striped binding on it.
I finished the binding on my big green charity quilt. We didn't have school due to snow days during the week of 1/26. Temperatures were in the negatives and we got over a foot of snow. Bus stops and bus loops were snowy and icy. Last weekend volunteers shoveled and shoveled in area school districts so that students could go to school this week. It was nice to sit and stitch under this quilt in the evenings on our days off.
I also finished all the applique of an old dragon project. I'm not that in to dragons, but this was something we did as a learning thing at the quilt guild I used to be a member when our son was small. I'll most likely add some pink patchwork blocks around it to make it crib sized.
Cold stitching... I only had to take the 22.5" mini Kathleen Tracy QA to work with me for two days to have the binding complete. Here it is on Monday in the parking lot of the school. I arrived early due to the fact that good parking spots are limited with all the snow plowed in the lot. Yep, that says -9 degrees.
Here's the finished cutie:

Volunteers shoveled so the children could attend school? That was awesome! I'm glad you got a good parking spot at school, those parking lots can be very icy. Your grandmother's quilt is beautiful! Are you able to display it on a wall in your home? Happy stitching!
