Snow days crafting

It has been bitterly cold here since last weekend’s snowstorm. We had about 12 inches of snow. 

Thankfully we didn’t get the massive amount of ice the other places experienced. 

We are expected to stay below freezing for the next 10 days or so and have been so since last weekend. I’m staying warm and cozy in my house except for grocery shopping. Of course that means I have tons of time to craft and I have been busy. 

The ball shape on Having a Ball has been quilted! 

On Tuesday I marked the cross-hatching for the background. 

I started the quilting on Wednesday. I think this will go fairly quickly. 

During the snowstorm on Sunday, I hunkered down in my basement and finished sewing the I-Spy quilt together. I love it! 

Now I am cutting colorful squares to make a border around the edges.

There will be 4 more 9 patches in the corners and a white square next to each of the other 9 patches. The quilt should end up about 45” square. 

The heel and gusset have been completed on my sock and I am now knitting the foot.

 I’m enjoying this. I hope the resulting sock fits nicely. 

I’m currently reading Daughters of Victory by Gabriella Saab. I haven’t decided whether or not I’m enjoying it. So far it is quite dark. 

I will be joining Frederique at the Quilting Patch on Saturday and Kathy for some Slow Sunday Stitching. I hope you take some time to relax with some tea, coffee or hot chocolate and pop on over to their sites to see what other bloggers are stitching. 

Thanks for stopping by! 

PS: the commenting problem is mine as I have a new computer. My ability to comment on my own posts is blocked. I need to confer with hubby as to whether the permissioning solution is safe. I will try to use my old computer to comment, but it can be slow and balky lately. Hence the new computer.
