Woodchuck Day for Vermonters, that is what the Governor said. The press release from Gov. Jim Douglas today was "Vermont Governor vetoes Punxsutawney Phil's forecast - says VT woodchucks confirm 12 more weeks of winter." Nothing like dashing a girls hopes. Well, I guess that just means more time to sew without a worry of it getting to hot to even think if quilts.
On that nice wintery note, I was able to work on the quilt I have been making for a friend of mine. Her husband has been deployed to Afghanistan. I really wanted to do something for her and her girls. I thought a comfy place to snuggle together might help this next year pass just a little more quickly.
This was a pattern that I found at the Moda Bake Shop. A FREE pattern to boot. The directions were very easy to follow and I am very pleased with the outcome. I was able to give it to my friend this morning. She was very surprised and I got a big hug, a very nice way to start the day.
The only other news around these parts is the twins that we have been awaiting at work arrived 1/25/2010. A boy and a girl, everyone is healthy and happy. Ah.....baby watch over, quilts DONE. Wait just a minute....that was on Monday, on Wednesday we found out another woman in our group is going to have a baby in August!! Yep, another baby quilt to get cracking on.
Well, since it is Februray I need to get my thoughts together for the next installment of The Quilt Show BOM that I am working on. Stay tuned for an update, hopefully next weekend with those blocks.
