My Picnic Quilt

Every once in awhile I make a quilt that I just fall in love with, this happens to be one of those quilts!

I am sure many of you are familiar with Lori Holt from

 Bee in My Bonnet.

She has an amazing book called Farm Gril vintage.  This quilt was in her book and as soon as I saw it I knew I had to make it! 

It is hand pieced and hand quilted.

 I will leave you with this...

I have no idea what to do with Washi Tape but my college daughter used it to spruce up her dorm room.

I am not that crafty!

I hope everyone enjoys their nice long weekend. 

What do you do when the Wind Chill Is -45!!

Wow, cold I mean cold. We are setting all sortt of records here in Illinois.  I know there are other places in the country affecting by this snow and cold.

Please stay safe everyone.

So, this is what I did. I went around the house and closed all the blinds to help keep in the heat. Now I know why I make so many quilts, this Snoopy one is covering the family room windows. I am hoping this will also help. 

So far, we are very blessed all is fine.

The happy news is that the kids had today and now tomorrow off, which extends their Holiday Vacation.

Maggie and I watched a movie. Well she watched, I listened while I broke open a fat quarter set. I have such a hard time doing that, but I am continuing my, buy it, cut it, use it statement for this year too!

Took out my Accuquilt Machine and went to town!

I cut 5 inch squares.

Here they are:

The color palette is, grey, pink and line green. I like the splash of the green. I think it will add a pop to the quilt.

OK, off to start to hand piece this baby.

Stay safe!
