It's time to sew!

 Happy New Year!

I ended the old year and began the new year with lots of cleaning out - as in my fabric stash, fabric scraps, fabric orphan blocks, fabric strings... A few days ago we delivered 5 garbage bags and 4 boxes to a place local to us where some ladies make donation comforters and quilts. I delivered 2 small boxes to them earlier. They were happy to get the fabric and I'm delighted to have things cleared out. I do not like clutter so all is good. 

I have a quilt on the frame of my longarm ready to quilt. It's a panel with borders. I did all of the stitching with my serger using a chain stitch. I just had to try it and it worked extremely well. I thought there might be a bump where the stitches are but there isn't!

I'm slowly assembling a scrap quilt. 

It sounds like we are in for quite the winter storm tonight and tomorrow. We had almost 5" of snow a week and a half ago and it sounds like this next storm might be even more snow with strong winds.

I think we'll have chili to eat tomorrow and it's already made. So bring on the snow - it's time for to sew!
