Definitely. DS2 is off at scout camp this weekend!?! so I am hoping for
a quiet weekend with no sibling squabbles, which should equate with
sewing time for me.

Been busy working and trying to get some birthday presents done.
Trying to get some quilting done too.
It's nice and warm here in L.A.! I feel for you all in those Tundras!!

Howdy!

For sure, we've been "out there", out there where the sun is shining,
temps in the high 50sF, and there was just enough rain to make the
weeds sparkle; lovely to have a green yard in February. G
Beginning the quilting on an "organized scrappy" that husband wants
to lay claim to; he's not willing to give up another quilt, so I don't
know how squashed he's going to be, under so many quilts. g
Meanwhile, we're preparing to move my f-i-l to his new apartment, just
a couple of miles from us; wonderful place, I already have friends there;
I know he'll enjoy living there.
No messages? Well, maybe no one is saying anything. Hard to believe,
remembering the days when RCTQ had hundreds of posts per day. Are we
quilting more?

Cheers!

"Organized Scrappy" is just what I am making for my sweetie too! I'm
making the Prairie Queen block (but told him it is Prairie King lol)
in 4 different dark browns, 4 different medium browns, 4 different
cream/beiges and 4 different turquoise. I am just too controlling to
make a true scrappy but have my Manual Randomizer at work -- paper
bags, draw fabric out of each and sew together, no cheating, no
matching!

I think there are just fewer of us.
Maybe more experienced too, so there are fewer questions or problems to
solve.

Hey, these tundras are warm today. 42 degrees! Water on the roads today
and the "lake" at the subdivision entrance is back for a bit. Thursday we
had freezing rain and school was cancelled, but at least we're not in the
minus teens anymore.

I just finished a scrappy top, made mostly from my friend Karin's
scrap bag. She gets frustrated over scrap build-up now and then, and
just finds it simpler to give it all away. And I never say no to
scraps. So this one is mainly solids and almost-solids, deep rich
colors. In a moment of insanity, I gave it a yellow border. But I am
NOT going to rip it out, no second-guessing allowed on this project!
It is just going to evolve. I love surprises!

Wow! Steve. That is warm for you this time of year! It was 75* two
days ago, yesterday and today have been in the mid
60's. Still comfortable, but the wind is cool. Just the right
temperature to hand quilt!!

We've all been hibernating under a blanket of snow. It got down to -12C
the other night. There's been a frantic scramble to get all the
homeless under cover. I think there was a report out that they knew of
only 9 in the Canterbury area that hadn't come in to the shelters, but
since then I've seen no reports of deaths, so I'm thinking they have
survived. I hope they found somewhere under cover to doss down... And
food. Hot food.
