| Snow Day |
Well,
isn't this a surprise? Two inches of snow this morning gave me an
opportunity for a breakfast of snow cream. A fluffy, pretty snow
stuck to the trees and grass but not much on our roads. Now the sun
is melting it fast. Not too unusual for Tennessee, though, because I
remember snow on St. Patrick's Day and on Easter.
This
winter table runner is made from a batik snowflake print, using
AccuQuilt wedge die. I whipped it up earlier this year on a snowy
January day.
The backing is pieced from two fat quarters. I used a
decorative snowflake stitch for quilting. Snow Day is 21” x
25” size.
Now,
forward to Saturday's holiday: St. Patrick's Day! With a last name
of Ireland, you know I have to celebrate.

| Citrus Mint Stars |
I
used my LeMoyne Star die to create this little quilt called Citrus
Mint Stars. Little pieces, but easy to cut, sew, and piece with
the die. Tan solids contrast nicely with two green prints framed by batik sashing.
For the back, I combined a leftover block with
green and cream half square triangles to make one large block. This
one is 35” square, quilted with a wavy stitch in tan thread. It's
hanging in my kitchen right now.
Gotta
go, I need to add extra steps to my daily walk, after snow cream and
the lemon pie I made for my husband's birthday.
