Getting this day started

 It has been an early morning for me. Hubby who is a volunteer fireman, has been out at a fire all night. I woke up and he wasn't home yet so there was no more sleeping happening so here I am!

It has been a busy and productive week. Sewing day with two friends...social distancing of course! I have been working on a new baby quilt and  helping a friend by proof reading a new pattern she is doing as a sew along. With it being a short week because of Thanksgiving, it didn't take long for Saturday to arrive!!

We got our first taste of winter weather yesterday...rainy with a bit of slushy stuff fell. I prefer these pics from Thanksgiving weekend when we visited our daughter.

I will have lots of time today to sit with a coffee and check in with my friend Kathy and see what all the slow stitchers are doing. I will not be attending my annual quilting retreat which starts later this week but that won't stop me from quilting/sewing and hopefully getting some projects finished!

This is a block from the baby quilt. It is 4 1/2" unfinished, yes that makes that nine patch 1 1/2 " finished....isn't it cute!! Do you see Eeyore in the corner? This fabric has Pooh characters all over it!! I hope to have it finished this week!
Have a great week ahead and I think a nap might be in order later today!!

  1. How wonderful your husband helping to volunteer in putting out those fires. I would imagine it would be unsettling being home and wondering if all is okay. The block is so darn cute! Gosh, it is tiny!

  2. I hope your husband is safely home from fighting that fire. Your baby quilt is going to be adorable. I can't wait to see the finished project.

  4. Such a tiny little nine patch!
    Fighting fires is such a brave thing to be involved in, the professionals and all the volunteer firefighters too.

Curling, rocks, brooms and houses!

Yes curling has taken over my house this week. Watching the Brier Canadian men's tournament and getting some sewing and hand quilting do...
