FNWF Report

Oh I know it is Monday in this part of the world and I am late , late for my report on stitching with my friends for Friday Night with Friends hosted by lovely Cheryll , thanks Cheryll . Do I have an excuse , well not a great one, I just have been having some joint issues with all this nasty weather we have been dealing with so being on the computer is not something I wanted to do . However I did stitch , on Friday evening for a while I did some more knitting on my sock , I am so enjoying this now that I have passed the ribbing , oh don't look too closely at my ribbing unless you want your laugh for today .

As you can see I have a ways to go before I will actually be wearing this , maybe my the next century at the rate  I am going but I am having fun :-) Do you see I am using five needles, yes this pattern asked me to change to the fifth needle , yikes I was having enough trouble dealing with four but I did what I was told , rare for me , and so far so good .
 I have also been trying to catch up on my guild BOM , I had a few more blocks to make and made those and then decided on my design layout which meant making even more blocks , I love to make extra work for myself you see ;-) I am now in the process of making a 16" block for the center and these blocks will surround that in some fashion , certainly not as you see them here . After I get this large block made I will need to make three more 12" blocks to complete my design . I must say I am excited to see how this will work out . All of the blocks used are in the public domain , most from the Quilters Cache and a few from McCalls Quilt site .

 I have to be honest here , these colours are just not doing it for me and I am hoping when I get the sashings in it will pull things together and make it work . My newest blocks are the second row down . I do enjoy taking part in our guild BOM and seeing all the different variations of the same quilt . Mine will be very different as I am adding so many extra blocks . 

Want to see the snow we got in our huge storm the other day , it might cool you off a tad .

This is my patio door and the snow had compacted some by the time I took this picture .

I took this picture from the bridge in Eureka , it sure did look cold ,probably because it was -25 C. 

They had predicted a storm for tomorrow but thankfully it is going to by pass us this time , whew I wasn't quite ready for more snow , we are still cleaning up from this last blast , well not me but Bill, he is the one with the shovel and snow blower . I haven't seen the poor little robin for a couple of days now , sure hope it has just moved on and not succumbed to the cold .

 Thanks for stopping by today , I really appreciate your visits .
