I got February's challenge piece sandwiched, thread and design chosen, and got to work yesterday. Right now I am taking a break, waiting for some banana bread to finish baking. But I am more than halfway done with the largest part of the quilt! It took some work to get the tension right on the metallic thread, but it is working well and looking great. Next I just have to decide how to quilt the borders, and I'm good. So I should have this ready to do the blog post ahead of time, easy.
It has been dreary and drizzly today. Less than two weeks, then March. If I can survive that, we should start seeing little bits of green sometime in April. Although if I have to deal with winter, at least I have the Olympics to watch while I sew. I love watching the figure skating!
