Winter Weather

We experienced our first snow last Friday!  It was beautiful and very wet!

It was a good time to get lots of sewing done and some cleaning up in the sewing room!

I finished this pillow.  I had been working on the embroidery earlier in the fall and then used scraps from the plaid/reds from the Christmas quilt that I recently finished to complete the pillow.  Any finish is always nice even when it's a small one!

I also selected my fabrics for the new Bonnie Hunter Good Fortune mystery.  I am not doing the full size this year, only 1/4 to 1/3 of the blocks.  I also chose not to go scrappy.  I changed her oranges to the honeycomb yellow and then darkened her blues to more of a navy.  

Cici thought the honeycomb yellow was a good match for her!

I spent Saturday at the Open Sew at Sew Sweet Quilt Shop in Brunswick.  I worked on my block of the month and then these little tiny parts to the Secret Santa mystery quilt I started.  Some of these pieces finish at 3/4 of an inch!  I am now caught up on all the clues.  There is only one more Friday clue and then the big reveal/finish on Black Friday! -  Just in time to start the Bonnie Hunter Mystery!

With all the snow, Muffin has decided to work on achieving "house cat" status.
She has found Cici's sleeping basket on my fabric counter.

It's truly exhausting trying to achieve "house cat" status!

Travels of a T-Shirt

Well, the Greene County Rams finished their football season the last Friday night in October.  They ended the season 8-2, following last year's 1-8 season.  I wore this Greene County Rams t-shirt every Friday from Aug. 24 to the state playoffs on Oct. 26.

I know it's a track shirt, but it's the only Greene County shirt I have and it seemed to have a lot of good juice in it.  It's from my nephew's advancing to state track in 2 events last spring.  This shirt has been to D&T quilt shop sale - TWICE!, been to get a massage - TWICE!, been to get a mammogram, to the Ozark Quilt Show in Springfield, to help hang quilts at the Stitch by Stitch Quilt Show in Arrow Rock, to the Missouri Country Quilt shop to try out quilting machines, to the vet with a very sick Cici, and to a DAR meeting at the Historic Pennytown Church.  

And every Friday night I worked on this quilt...........named Friday Night Lights!  Actually the original pattern name was French Twist.

It was completed entirely while listening to my nephews' football games on the radio.  (well, I did the final pressing on Saturday morning after the last game).  I was a bit lost this past Friday, didn't know what to wear or what to do that evening!
