It's a good day when....
It's a good day when the postman arrives with a little squishy with my name on it , I won this very cute little pattern on Stitchin by the Lake , thanks so much Marlene. I love basket quilts and it will be fun to do a minature of baskets.
It is also a good day when you sit down and try to do a little FMQ, I have taken the challenge to learn how to FM this year and here is my first attempt , now I have tried to do some FM before but my skills are pretty limited so that is what I want to improve and add a few different designs and feel comfortable doing so. I have a bit of a sore neck today so didn't stay at this too long but it isn't too bad I suppose and with practice it should get better .
There is a nor easter headed our way don't believe it is going to be anything significant but there will be snow and at this time we have none.It has been a very strange winter so far ,personally I hope it stays strange and we have a relatively mild winter with less snow , I may be asking too much as Feb . hasn't arrived yet . Enjoy your day and thanks as always for taking time out of your day to visit.
