Snow Stitches

  snow stitches

This week we had a snow day!  Our first snow day ( our only snow day).  Well, it was lovely!  I spent lots of time saying "Oh, how pretty! Oh, what nice light snow makes!  Oh!"  Just ask my family.  I also spent some time hand quilting a burst of rainbow scraps.

Snow!

And was able to finish it up in time to take these snowy pictures next morning, before it melted!   Thank-you, snow.

Remember this?  I made two inverse rainbow scrappy works in December, when testing out an idea for Color Intensive.  It didn't turn out quite like I hoped, but I figured just what I'd do with them.

This one is my favorite, design-wise, so I hand quilted with pearl cotton (size 8) thread and fitted her with hanging triangles on the back.  Now it's a mini quilt!

If I hadn't been so distracted by fabric shopping today, I might have started work with its twin.  But, oh well, that's what weekends are for.  Here's to a stitchy one for all!
