Winter skies returned to my neck of the woods.
Gray skies that later opened up and snow flakes
floated down to earth
My kind of day---
sitting by the fire and sewing on my Red and Green Quilt.
I have been sewing on this quilt for more than 10 years I think.
Lets just say it has been a long time!
There was not a pattern for me to follow.
I traced the block from a magazine picture
and blew it up to 16"
{ I thought that seemed like a good size, nice and big, be done in no time }.
I actually lost the blocks in my sewing room for several years.
{Who looses these beautiful blocks}?
I found them on my last "clean out the sewing room"
and am I happy ! I love sewing on these blocks !
I love the slow process of appliquéing.
I can watch Downton Abby and sew on my blocks without making any mistakes.
Yup, I like snow days and applique !

This is beautiful Eileen!
On another note...there was a newspaper article yesterday, saying which cities in the US, that people were happiest living in...Fort Collins was #9...and Lancaster was #1. We've got good taste! :)
Your blocks are beautiful. Appliqué is relaxing for me as well. Looks like you had the perfect day.
