You can always expect a snow storm in April. It's just a question of when!Thankfully, the beauty does not hang around for too long. It is spring you know!
What a perfect day for a latte and some quilting! I'm working on a project that I hope to share with you soon.
On the project completion front, I finished Tic-Tac Baskets, a pattern by Jan Patek Quilts.
I used Jan Patek's fabric line Blessings from Moda. I love Moda! ;o)The quilt is machine pieced and appliqued!
As much as I enjoy needleturn appliqué, I also find the preparation for machine appliqué quite relaxing.
I use that prep time to listen to audiobooks. Not something I can easily do when I'm using my sewing machine.
Penelope and I had some bonding time. I played with rulers and free-form on the Tic-Tac Basket quilt.
Gosh, I'm loving ruler work! ;o) My, in the ditch work, has improved quite nicely!
What's on Penelope at the moment you might ask? Well, my Coney Island quilt! Yes, I feel comfortable enough to tackle that one! I can not wait to share the finish quilt with you!
Have a great week! Thank you so much for stopping by! Cheers!
And....we can't wait to see it finished!

That snow came pretty close to us . . . . but passed us by. I am thankful for that *s*
