Wednesday Weather Report #42 - 3/7/18

Last week Chantal was cruising on the evil website to look for weekend projects. I was really enthralled with one of them so Chantal said we should make it together.

The basic premise was to baste 2 mini charm packs onto 3/4" hexies. Another 2 packs were sewn together as the background. After sandwiching, the hexies were then quilted onto the background in a crosshatch pattern.

Chantal didn't have matching mini charm packs so she cut a regular charm pack into minis and went from there. She's finishing her binding so hopefully she will post hers soon.

I only had one 1 mini charm pack in a small enough scale so I basted them onto 1" hexies and sewed 3" white grunge squares into a background. It wasn't quite big enough for the doll cat bed so I added a border and grunge hexies. It's a lot of white and the flash, last night, really bounced off the white but I like it. I think I have enough teal grunge to bind it and I found the perfect blue/teal/purple fabric in my stash for the back.

Not bad for a 5-day project, huh? I hope to get it quilted tonight so that I can share it at hexie club this week (we postponed due to last Friday's weather). And then I can get back to my tree skirt. I'm still on section 6 but that will be finished long before the weekend is over because Saturday is guild sit-n-sew.

And then there was the weather....Oh the weather...
I just never know what to expect any more...

60 - 34 - 30 - 30 - 29 - 30 - 35 F

Yipp. We started at a balmy 60, crashed right into that snow storm (hence the snowflake fabric) I shared photos of on Monday and got stuck in the low 30s. Apparently it's time to cut more blues because I have both dark and light purples stacked out the wazoo but it looks like we won't need them for at least another couple weeks.

It is soooooo gonna be fun next year comparing rosettes and how weird the weather has been...

How has your weather been? Can't wait to see your hexie rosettes:
