Normal chores done, thinking about doing some cutting for my quilting. I have a sweet little pattern called Yellow Brick Road...all blues and yellows. :) I tried a new pattern last night (not quilting) for a table runner. It took maybe 20 minutes (with ironing which is the bulk of the work for centering) for each one. I made 2..one for Valentine's Day with the center part being a soft butter yellow and old fashioned pink roses and greens and the outer part is a sage green. Very sweet and pretty. The other is for springtime and is a medium bluish fabric in the center with pink and yellow flowers and the outside is a somewhat darker medium blue border....equally lovely. :) I love when I make something that comes out pleasing to my eye!

I boiled some beef bones last night and have the pot of broth sitting outside in a pile of snow. I will scrape the fat off soon and add some veggies and let it simmer on the wood stove for a few hours. Should be ready just in time for dinner. :)

Anyway...all 12 pieces of fabric have been ironed for the new lap quilt and I am really hoping I can get them cut while Jeremiah naps later today. :)

Have a great day everybody!

Love,

Michelle
