Works in progress

I am afraid I do not have a lot to show today , I have been busy with other things plus I desperately needed a new blade for my rotary cutter , it was starting to bother my shoulder with the extra pressure I had to give to get the fabric cut . However a little progress was made and every bit counts.
 

This is the little Bunny Hill BOM and I know most people are making these into ornaments but I think they make sweet little mini quilts so that is my plan . This is Februarys block , I still need to do the embroidery and quilt it , the applique is complete . 

 Next I have been trying to get my Charming Stars quilt finished and this is where the difficulty came with the cutting . That cotton I am using for the sashing is tough to cut.

I have all of the blocks made and some are on my sewing machine right now getting prepared to stitch . After I purchased a new blade I began the process of cutting all of the sashings with much less problems . If you look closely the top row is sewn .I think I am going to try doing the quilt as you go method here , I will sew all the strips together then cut my backing fabric and batting and see how I can get along . I will be happy to get this project done ;-) 

On the weekend , Saturday was a lovely sunny day so I said to DH ,lets go to the beach , strange request with so much snow around huh , well I just wanted to see what it looked like after all the storms .

Here is the road to the beach , as you can see the banks of snow are very high so there was no climbing over them to see the beach , however I can not give up that quickly so we drove down a side road and I took this picture from the car , brave huh .

This poor walkway has had some damage from the storms and as you can see the beach is snow covered and the ice is in the harbour , if you look way out you can see some open water . 

Here is a little brook from another day , I love the look of brooks in winter .

Did that cool you off , thought so , I am sure it would be very refreshing to dip your toe in there .

 Well I spent the morning cleaning the house so I can now go play on those blocks . Thanks for stopping by today , have a good one .
