It
was snowing when we got up this morning and didn’t quit until almost 5:00
tonight. However, the temperature was at a balmy -6C so we went for a walk –
still cold with the cold wet snow hitting our faces but it did feel good to get
out and get some fresh air. Joe had to shovel the driveway twice today but the
snow has stopped so that’s over with.
I
thought I’d post a rare Saturday posting this week. Here is a quilt I made for
my one and only granddaughter, Kadri.
I
bought a drawer unit from a quilt shop that was closing and inside was some
bits of fabric. The owner’s daughter (owner died unfortunately) told me to just
take it all. Well, the fabric turned out to be the start of a quilt. There was
no pattern with it and not pieces enough to finish a quilt but it was my
friends at the quilt guild to the rescue. One of the ladies saw my request for
any matching fabric and called to say she had bought some odds and ends at the
same sale and she was pretty sure she had some of that quilt – turned out she
had almost one whole row of the same quilt. A couple of other friends gave me
some matching fabric and I finally had enough to make a small centre of the
quilt. Then I just added a couple of plain borders; raided by own stash to make
the piano border and then finally the last brown border which I made wider at
the top and bottom so the quilt would not be square.
Kadri
loved it and here she is with boyfriend studying it when I gave it to her.
That’s
all for a snowy Saturday,
Violet
