We're all chomping at the bit for your Midwinter Reds ... love to win some!

I just finished skirts for my daughters to wear to a St. Patricks's Day party.
Late last night I remembered watching snowflakes falling through the glass windows of a sugarhouse as I was working on a new applique pillow. We drove through icy roads to the local Maple Taste and Tour on National quilting Day and stocked our cupboards with locally made maple syrup. Two sugarhouses are less than 20 miles from our place. It was fun walking in fresh snow to the sugarshacks & watching the sap boil in huge evaporators. Happy National Quilting Day weekend!
I celebrated national quilt day by going to a quilt show. So inspiring! Then I came home and worked on finishing up a lap quilt for my daughter's in-laws.
I have two rugs I am working on, one I am trying to finish to enter in the fair. I have to since I have made a fuss about everyone else who is doing this rug entering theirs. I also have cut out the fabric for the Prairie Paisley quilt, now I have to get sewing.

I am working on a bunny rabbit "Welcome Spring" door-sized Quilt. It is made with home-made chenille & applique . . . it really cute, but the chenille is a real challenge. Your red fabric is so beautiful!

I have one more tree to make on my enlarged version of Brrrrr Park, and that's what's on my sewing table right now. But I had to take a little detour for my surgeon to do some stitching of a different kind on two occasions (yes, I said twice) this past week. Never quite considered before ever having a two-fer when I go to the hospital for a single. The only time that would be good would be when buying an ice cream cone! Love your reds! Can't wait for the line to hit FQS!!
I'm working on a scrap quilt. Trying to use leftover fabrics from old projects. Annaleena
