Snow Day - 21 March 2018

And yes, it IS a snow day.  Looking out from the landing just outside the Treehouse....

Yup, there is snow out there.   Schools are closed....so I imagine there's a lot more snow than I had thought.  

Yes, we live above a chess club.  For now.  House hunting is quite an adventure.  







Progress!

Backing loaded on frame for Fussy Crumb Bird Block flimsy.  I thought I had squared it up nicely...but obviously not.  The backing had been hung up for quite awhile ... the ole "the wrinkles will remove themselves if hung up long enough" theory (theory is just theory)....and the squaring up obviously did not take happen other than trimming off both ends of the backing.  To remove or not remove.....

In the meantime....

Strip blocks continue to grow....

And grow......

And finally....almost finally.....just FOUR more 6 1/2" blocks to go and viola - I will have the required thirty-six 12 1/2" blocks completed.  




And then there's the block challenge.....

Three completed with ???? more to go.  Deadline is the end of April.  There are 2 more ready to sew.  This block lends itself to different layouts...and a plus - scrappy is my middle name.  



Now for another cup of coffee and then perhaps breakfast.  Snow away, Dayton.  The refrigerator is well stocked, along with the cupboards.
