27 Feb

Well, our plans of riding the motorcycle were premature as Old Man Winter sent us another snowfall.

The day after our snow was so beautiful. The sky was a bright blue and the trees were dressed in white.

Handmade Christmas

28 Dec

After last Christmas, I decided that I wanted to try to sew as many Christmas presents as possible. I still think I have room for progress, but this year I did complete two winter quilts, one for each of our families.

Knapp/Bowman edition

I had meant to make a third for us so that we would all have matching quilts and be able to think of each other whenever we cuddled under them. Alas, I only had enough fabric for two. Darn–now I have to buy more fabric for our quilt. ;) Actually, I’m not sure if I’ll have time for that. I have several other sewing projects that are clamoring for my attention…

Love,

Enjoy the View

This is the view from one of our windows. I cannot get over how beautiful the UP winter is. I especially love all of the birch trees.

Cookies

On cold snowy days, a mug of tea and some chocolate chip cookies are the best companions.

yummy!

Winter Quilt Two

30 Nov

I am going to do a very simple pattern for my winter quilt. I think some of the prints are too pretty to cut into small pieces.



cut strips: I'm ready to piece!

The cardinal and winter scene fabric is cut into large rectangles. I then cut strips from the other fabrics. These strips will be sewn together in rows of three and then cut to match the size of the large rectangles. At least, that’s the plan thus far… With all of the snow flurries and colder weather, I am anxious to have my winter quilt for snuggling and retiring my Woodland Creatures until next fall.

Love,

Tiff
