It was so cold Tues. & Wed. that the best thing to do was stay inside and work on quilt projects. I spent quite a bit of time cutting pieces for the Double Delight mystery. Didn't get to do much on Thurs. since I worked at the library, but today I was back at it. While the pattern was offered in steps as a mystery I didn't start cutting until I had printed out all the steps. Then I started cutting..and cutting..and cutting, until this is what my Double Delight looks like at this point. Now I can sew..and sew..and sew. And THEN I get to trim...and trim...and trim. (Not really looking forward to that part.)

YUP! The entire north has been hit with extreme wind chills. It allowed me TWO days off, quilting the whole time. :0)
ReplyDeleteWay to get a start on DD. (I haven't yet) but I'm like you--I have the whole thing printed off. I didn't decide to make it until I saw the entire project this time---it'll be perfect for a graduation quilt for my babysitter.
I'm sure Nebraska has warmed up by now----we actually are above zero this morning. A heat wave is being forecast for the next 5 days----THIRTY DEGREES! Yes!
Happy Saturday
