Sewing challenges.

I was so close to finishing my Celtic Solstice by Bonnie Hunter but the quilting took longer than expected (as if that's news) and then I sat down to start stitching the binding down and found this....

 

Cooper loves a tent or fort.  He was all curled up and ready for a nap inside the heaped up quilt I'd left beside my stitching chair.  So, I left him and put off starting the binding for a day or two.  I am still not done but I will be soon.  

When the boys aren't snuggling up against the cold they are my very own Whirling Dervishes.  

 

I've been working on a variety of odds and ends in my sewing room.  I made this little piece as a challenge for my quilt guild.  We are supposed to make a quilt of a door.   Mine is modeled after my own front door.  We have side lights like this plus a half moon window above the door and windows.  I left that out because we don't need to get all crazy here!  (Curves....I don't think so.)  I fussy cut the snowmen from some fabric and appliqued them using my machine's blanket stitch.  It will be fun to see what other people made. 

I am optimistic that this winter will end...someday.  The layer of ice and snow pack on the drive has been my own personal challenge.  Grrr...melt....darn it. 

In the mean time...there is plenty of fabric awaiting.
