Wednesday Weather Report #39 - 2/14/18

25 - 22 - 23 - 33 - 41 - 27 - 29 F

Yes - it's week 39 - and that means we are officially 75% done with this quilt!!

It seems like just yesterday that we started and yet May 17th is just around the corner, when it will be time to start another temperature quilt.

That's right, I'll be doing another one. I need to make another so that I can compare the weather from year to year. LOL.

The only question will be design and I'm still pondering that one...

I've been getting lots done on my EPP tree skirt - hopefully I'll have time to post those pictures tomorrow.

Don't forget to link up your hexie temperature quilt project using the link to your specific post and not just to your blog.

I'll be honest - I really don't have too many restrictions here at Casa Grande. I know that but I still like to test Momma's my limits.

The coffee table is one place that I'm not supposed to be.
I don't know why cuz Momma cleaned some of the hexie projects off it last weekend.

But look - Mr Cranky Ankle needed inspecting. How could I pass up that opportunity??!

And this IS the best spot to watch TV. Momma was watching a mini series called The Pillars of the Earth. We finished it last night. We miss it already...

Every once in a while I show off my belly furs! It's enough to get away with most anything....

Now if I can just convince Momma to let me keep sitting on the ironing board (which is really a board that sits on the cutting table) to play with the scissors, push pins, leather thimble pads and other things that Momma hangs on the wall...

Wednesday Weather Report #38 - 2/7/18

24 - 43 - 11 - 24 - 38 - 19 - 23F

Not the best picture of one of my weather rosettes but I think it gives you a pretty good idea of the weather outside. The weather people were preaching gloom and doom with 6-10 inches of snow today but I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess we top out at 3" based on the current snowfall.

For the second year in a row, my hexie club is having a UFO challenge. Each member is encouraged to pick one of our hexie UFOs to work on until our Christmas in July Party. Of course it would be great to finish a project, but the point of the challenge is to make as much progress as possible.

The project I chose is my Christmas Tree Skirt. According to my blog labels, it looks like I probably started this project in December 2013 since I finished cutting the diamonds in January 2014. It's finally time to buckle down on one of my earlier hexie UFOs!

I originally bought the fabric and papers as a kit. Would I now choose the same fabric? Not necessarily. I like the fabrics but I wish I had thrown in a bunch more for variety. My scrappy skills have expanded in the last how many years and I'm much more in to tone-on-tone fabrics that really read the desired color.

No matter what, I'm on a roll and enjoying this project again.
