Pretending To Be Snowed In (such a good excuse for a stitching fest)




There is quite a sprinkling of snow here but I am pretending it's about 6 feet deep and as I'm not at work today it's a jolly good excuse to sew.


This half finished quilt top has been hanging around for ages now and I got inspired to add the second row today. There's another row of three blocks to add and then I can wash my hands of blanket stitch for ever!


I think it will measure about 5 feet square when it is finished.


So God, if you're listening, can we have another dump of the white stuff tonight so that I can continue tomorrow. Thanks.


I couldn't resist taking some photos by the canal at Brewood this morning after the school run, but I only had my phone with me as a camera - not bad really. It was so peaceful down there - I love the way the snow mutes the air.

  1. lovely quilt. Snow, a good excuse to get things done that you wouldn't normally give yourself permission to do. Managed to get a google account, not worked out how to set up a blog yet. J

  4. Hi Clare,

    Thanks for your cheery words, love your quilt, especially the surface stitching, it looks very tactile and , well, "stitchy" for the want of a better word!
