New additions to the fabric family...

My daughter wants me to make shams for her....she ordered more batiks.

She wants one set out of the one above.  It is even more gorgeous in person.

Then she wants me to use the one above and the one below to make another set...

She wants one fabric on the front and another on the back.

Winter temps are here again...it was 9ºF here this morn at 8:30ish.  We had to run to Walmart for a prescription and it was just 11 degrees an hour or two later.  A couple hours later, the thermometer on the Rav4 said it was 18º...the wind cut right through a person.

I wanted to get back to sewing, but didn't...maybe I will get in some time tomorrow.   I had time this afternoon, but was rather on the lazy side.  

Into the white...

We had appointments about an hour north of us today...this is the sort of day it was.  I had thought about cancelling, but got to thinking about if it was a normal day we would be apt to be out taking photos.  Only usually we go on back roads.  But the way north is never very busy so on we went.

Part of the time it was not blowing and snowing so terrible bad...

and a lot of the time it was like this...

A few stitches...

You can click here to see the whole thing...I have had this little piece and its twin made for several years and never done anything with them.  So, since they are made of batiks and daughters quilt top is made of batiks, I thought I would play with quilting on it to see if there seemed to be any special problems.    So far, only operator errors have emerged.

We have a skim of snow and it is cold out there!   I don't look forward to tomorrow...we have to head out of town in the morn, then come home and go to Terre Haute.  But Terre Haute is for fun...
