Snowflakes

This is what we woke to this morning. Something like this as this was taken last year. Figured I could use an old snow picture as a tease to start to show you a little about the Snowflake blocks I have started to work on. Really They are called "Chance of Flurries" and another of those puzzle type patterns by Pieces of the Heart, This starts with 8 fat quarters of each blue and beige. Then you cut them according to the pattern like this:

Here I have both of them stacked on a large box so I can move them if need be and pick out each piece as I need it. You switched certain pieces so that when you sewed each block you have the design. It is made with 5 sections and then the sections sewn together.

Here are the first two I have made. Have one more blue one but have been very busy the last week with Hubby

He had his cataract surgery Monday morning and so far everything is fine. He had an appointment to see the surgeon on Tuesday morning to check to see what he could see. Has to have drops put in 4 times a day. 3 different one. That takes a bit of time since they have to be 5 minuets apart.As of this afternoon he could see the TV and read on it without his glasses. Next comes a couple more visits to the doctor and then getting his new glasses so both eyes will look the same.

We've been pretty lucky weather wise compared to a whole lot of the mid-west and North. The past couple days have been very cold though , in the teens. Got up to 25 today with a little snow. No school either.

I've also been working on some swap blocks for the Hollow so that is a little sewing I've done. Also spent an afternoon in the basement quilting on that quilt that has been patiently waiting to get finished. That's about it. Until another time. Thanks for stopping and leaving a comment.
