so far, along with piecing i have also quilted these 2 this january.
And while i was at my sister's for 3 days...helping her to celebrate her birthday...i pieced this little beauty. it has been in a box partly cut out and pieced for about 3 or 4 years. now it is in the 'to be quilted' pile...a step in the right direction.
and this got pieced, too. it was only about a year or 2 old.
And i worked on a few small wallhangings and other things. it all adds up.
My sis and i had a great time for the last few days. i went up there on Thursday morning...after our snow storm of 5 inches of snow that we got. she didn't get hardly anything. we did some thrift stores on thursday and she found a very nice wooden dining room table and 6 chairs. it is higher than normal and it is very, very heavy. the middle leaf folds in half and drops down under the table. going to be very nice in the new house.
Friday we went to the library book sale once again. she scored about 5 boxes of books.....i think i only bought 5 books. LOL and a jigsaw puzzle. but i did help her find a couple good ones. then we checked out another thrift store and went out to eat. that pretty much tired us out for the day.
on Saturday we went out to the beast and took the carpet off the back stairs. at least they weren't glued down. they had those old fashioned metal rods against the back of the risers and we just popped those off and pulled out all the tacks and some nails in the wall. a couple of hours and we were done. it was too cold to do much else. but we did take a truck load of books over there.
So, my days have been busy and i am back home before the next snow storm is supposed to hit tomorrow. i believe i might head to the house and take a wee nap. cold and snow are good for naps.
Stay warm and cozy
