Feeling Productive!

This weekend we had a dusting of snow and freezing temperatures which means NC goes on total lockdown.  Schools shut down, people are buying mass quantities of milk and bread, and it's mayhem on the freeway.  I have lived in many places, one being Idaho so this panic makes me laugh!!  I can pretty much count on one hand during my entire high school years there that we closed school due to snow.  Oh well!  The days at home were a God-send.  Friday I worked from home, and all activities on Saturday were cancelled.  I didn't get out of my jammies all day long.  I think we all just needed a break from the busy-ness.  I love the fun stuff my girlies do, but it wears me out!

So, as part of the long weekend, I was able to finish up this baby quilt!!  I ♥ this fabric!  I ended up using a double layer of batting, since sometimes baby quilts double as playmats.  I thought it would give it some extra cushion.



I was also able to finally finish the quilt top of the Scrappy Trip Along!  This has turned out to be not-my-favorite, although I have seen so many that I just adore.  The best part is all the DS fabric mixed together.  So now to get it ironed, basted, and quilted.



Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

  3. Love both! My friend just moved from central IL to NC a few weeks ago. She's been cracking up at the reaction to a bit of snow. Said the grocery stores were out of milk and bread. :D

  12. I landed here at your lovely blog while poking around the Internet for some Katie Jump Rope (alas, I'll have to wait for Freespirit to decide to reprint!). Your baby quilt is stunning, and the quilting is just amazing. I also really love your version of the trip-a-long, I made mine super-ugly-scrappy but yours makes me wish I'd used more "goodies". You have a new follower in me!
