Brrrr -

 
Its a winter wonderland in Iowa. The farm has a new white blanket covering everything.. including some of the house windows.  Kali (our dog ) greeted me with chattering teeth...and she hadn't even been outside to pee yet. I think she knew the wind and sub zero temps were waiting for her and she dreaded thought. The blizzard blew it self out by Sunday PM . the hard ,cold work then begins for Dear Hubby. Thank goodness the skid loader takes care of the majority of it but there's always some shoveling to do first. Thanks Dear for clear the path!

For the Love of Quilts

These are some the quilts I made... some I still have, and some are in the homes of family and friends.. I love the whole process of making quilts, from picking out the fabric to sewing the binding on. I do some hand quilting, but it takes FOREVER!! The red & white Irish Chain quilt is is a handquilted king..it took 2 years to finish , YIKES!! So its not a speedy process. Most of the quilts get sent out to be machine quilted but that works out the best for me! I have been making more couch quilts ( twin size and a alittle smaller). These go together faster and make great gifts. This is just a little glimpse into something  I love to do. Enjoy!
