Another Apron




I finished another reversible apron this weekend.  It is for a friend who provided the fabric and said she would make a contribution to the quilt guild’s boutique if I would sew it for her.  There are some small fabric cuts left and I am considering making a couple of hot pads out of them.

I also managed to pin baste a quilt and clear off the quilting machine so I could work on it.  The result?  A mountain of projects-in-process precariously balanced on a small table desperately needing to be addressed.  This is a continual process in my sewing space.

Winter has arrived with lows in the 20s this morning.  One business, a quilt shop in Llano, has already sent out emails saying they would close Thursday due to the possibility of bad road conditions.  We got our grocery shopping run done today, so we should be set no matter what.  Fortunately, nothing is predicted to happen tomorrow that would keep my Tuesday quilting group from meeting.  It feels like forever since we have been able to gather.  Christmas and New Year's falling in the middle of the week certainly messed with our schedule.

I don't always choose a focus word for the year, but this year "intentional" keeps crossing my mind.  I would certainly accomplish much more if I were better about being intentional in how I spend my time.

we are to get it on Thursday and Friday also - I thought I would make my grocery run tomorrow - I have most all I need but really just need a few things. Mike needs to get fuel for the generator and get some firewood in just in case! Weather guy says a wet heavy snow here - hope they are wrong!!

I'm with you on being more "intentional" in the sewing room. Hope you enjoy your guild meeting.
I'm excited with our forecast of "heavy snow", but I really will believe it when I see it. We are headed to the store today, but I bet everyone else will be too. I won't be surprised to see school closings here for Thursday/Friday.

It sounds like you might get more snow than we have had so far. It is 12 degrees this morning here. We have only had about an inch of snow in any of the 3 snowstorms that brushed our area, the other 2 just a light coating with grass sticking up through it. Your storm might get to us Friday but the last storm missed us.
