snow | Quilt Obsession

Remember this?

I started quilting it on the weekend, using a silk batt that is absolutely wonderful to work with. It’s incredibly easy to needle, and I’m getting lovely tiny stitches. That said, I’m taking out what I’ve done so far as I decided I want to quilt it differently than I originally had planned. I’m totally sold on using the silk batt now.

After a week of extreme cold, what did we get? Snow, snow and more snow. It began snowing around 3:00 p.m. Saturday and continued snowing until Sunday afternoon. This picture was taken during the daytime and it really shows what gets to me about winter — the total lack of colour.

Smudge keeps us entertained, no matter what the weather. He curled up with the teddy bear, his head on the teddy bear’s legs.

Lester, looking very alert.

It snowed a lot — as this evergreen clearly shows. This was taken around noon today — so a good 24/36 hours after the snow had stopped. I suppose it is pretty — but I’m just not a winter person by any stretch! Can’t wait for spring!

A few years ago, for whatever reason, we had moose statues all over the place in Toronto. There is one moose statue we still see outside a business that dresses it up for holidays, seasons, you name it. It’s rather hard to see what the moose has on as the snow is covering most of it, but here’s a picture of the moose. 🙂

And here’s yet another picture of the snow — it seems like there’s mountains of it, yet I think a great deal of it will be gone by Wednesday as we’re forecast to have a rather mild couple of days at the beginning of this week.

Last night I worked for a while with the setting for the 2″ Drunkard’s Path blocks I made a while ago in ’30s prints. I think I like the effect of this setting and am going to keep adding to it till I’ve used up the hundred or so blocks that I made. Then I think I may do a border with ’30s stars in it.
