Digging out

Okay, so, for those that are unaware, my poor little section of Maine has been hit with record breaking snowfall over the past two weeks: more than six feet of snow in a ten day period, and with more snow coming today, tomorrow, and the day after that.

Good news: lots of excellent quilting weather, and upper body exercise.

Less good news: too tired from shoveling snow to remember I'm supposed to write blog posts.

But, there is a light, and two new finished bed sized quilts for the Etsy shop! Both of these were part of the Quilts Quilts Quilts team Unfinished Object (UFO) Contest. And boy, is that one talented team. It's really worth the time to check out their entries here, along with the finished products here.

And my two completed entries so far are:

Joy

and

Bella Verona

Making Joy-ful progress

So all of this cold weather seems to have me moving pretty quickly on my latest project: a variant on the "Joy" pattern by Whirligig Designs!

So what has started as a pile of fabric and a few blocks

has grown

and grown

and now just needs some backing fabric!!! 

And if anyone is interested, this beauty will be for sale in my Etsy shop at www.downeasttraditions.etsy.com when it's finished!
