"Let it snow, let it snow..." I love snow. I love it even more now that I don't own a car and I don't have to drive in it. I either walk, take the bus, or get a ride. If I can't get there, I can't get there.
I love it because we really only get snow about 2 or 3 times a year, so it is a special event.
I love it because it makes the world quieter, and softens the edges.
And I love to sit by the window and watch it fall while I work on some project or another.
Today I worked on my "waste not, want not" basket. I cut out stacks of squares and a sample block for the "rose star" quilt.
I decided that "rose star" needs to have consistent patterns of fabric, so it's not a good way to use up my fabric stash. Ah well....
I did remember another good project for strips of fabric though. A sort of log cabin type block.
I started with a larger center square and then added strips that fit. I'm going to keep adding until I have a 12 inch square and then make a small pillow with it. It will make a good gift for my holiday party for work.
I also made a nice big pot of soup, perfect for the first snow day.
