working on a new quilt . . .

We've had a LOT of snow in our neck of the woods this week resulting in our kids' school being closed ALL WEEK.  Which means we've had lots of sleeping in, pajama days, colouring, paper-crafts, and playing in the white stuff.  It's definitely a nice way to ease back into things after our little vacation.  And to top it off, I got this lap quilt cut, pieced, and basted.  I'd say that makes for a pretty great week :)


Linking up to Confessions of a Fabric Addict, Finish it Up Friday, and Sew & Tell Friday.

Looks like a fab way to spend a week. Alas, I only live a mile and a half from the office, so I'm expected to trudge in in the snow :o/

We've been watching the news and WOW were you guys ever hit hard. School's still closed today?

Stay safe and warm.

And a lap quilt cut, pieced and basted in one week (with the kids home!), good for you. :)

I can't believe kids are a week off school because of snow. Better not tell mine...they'd be asking to move where you live!
