Well...... it finally happened....

we have snow!! How fitting it was to receive my first ornament block today from Christine. The background on this block is teeny tiny little snow flakes - very cute. I can't wait to get them all, now!

I quilted up my four patch stack quilt - here's one of the fancy feathers that I put in the bottom borders. This was a fun project to quilt. I guess if it keeps snowing I will just keep quilting!!!

Oh, and congratulations to President Obama.......

Oh! the snow, the beautiful snow, Filling the sky and earth below, Over the housetops, over the street, Over the heads of the people you meet. Dancing, Flirting, Skimming along.

Stacked 4 Patch....

which is similar to a Stack N'Whack, except that is done as a four patch, is a pattern that I have been interested in. I made some blocks and then set them on point into a table cloth, with fabric that had a very small repeat (about 6")... the design is very intricate and a little hard to see... but I really like the design. The second picture shows the green squares a little closer and you can see the differences in the design .... plus the quilting... I had fun with this little piece.

So, while I quilting this little piece - I thought I would like to try another print... so I found another print that had about a twelve inch repeat... and came up with these little blocks. I like them too!! Might take a week or so to get these stitched up and quilted... but will make a cute little quilt. I was really excited making these blocks... you never know what you are going to get!!

The result is often disappointing, but the process is highly exciting.
