February

Ta Da!!!  Here is my February block for Snowbound:


With all the snow we have had here, maybe that is what I should be doing, too! ;)

ICICLES

Crazy Iciciles

These icicles formed just this morning!  You can see how heavy the tree branches are with the snow.  This tree actually lost a very large branch in the first storm from the weight of the snow.  Still snowing and the wind is starting to gust.  (This picture is out my back window.)

Poor little birdies....I have been throwing seed out for them in a corner close to the house....here's one little snowbird:

Snow

...and more snow....and more snow.  After receiving about two feet of snow the other day, today there is another storm with more snow falling...high winds expected later (hopefully - no power will be lost - crossing fingers now!)...

It only seemed appropriate to work on my second block for the Bunny Hill Snowbound (ha, ha) quilt.   Still working on that one.  But I did also work on the Irish chain blocks that will be between each snowman block.  I still have two more "rows" around the block to complete on thirteen of these squares...but here's a peek at them, so far:

I did scatter them about a bit...but you can see the cream colored polka dot in this photo as well as the cute red and cream print I am using. (Please excuse the threads on the squares...they will be trimmed after the final two borders are attached.)

Quin

A little update on my next fairy, "Q" for Quin:

 

A little more quilting on my reindeer this weekend.  This one is coming along slowly.  No new pictues of this one yet....waiting until the end.:)

PAULINA

....drumroll, please......here's my pretty purple "P" fairy....Paulina:

 

The background behind the "P" in the frame is charted to be filled in with Crescent Colours Argyle Socks.  I have not filled in any of the other backgrounds on my letters, so continued to do so with this one.

Goofy

Admittedly, this is a very goofy picture.  But as I was stitching away on my letter fairies, I got to thinking about things.  About Kathleen, who had a bit of an accident (and who, I know, reads my blog), these letters, and so on.  Was there actually anything I could spell at this point?  Well, almost.  Without stitching another E, and still missing the yet to be stitched T, here is my hastily pieced together word.  Just for you, Kathleen!  I hope this cheers you up a bit or just makes you laugh out loud!  I wish you the speediest of recoveries and send you all my best wishes.:))  (click on picture to see the whole thing)
 

And yes, I know there is very little extra fabric on the letter K.  But, remember, I am going to make this into a quilt.  I really don't need much of a seam allowance.;))

WIngs

...not chicken wings or barbecue wings, silly!  The wings on my next little letter fairy, Paulina.  Very sparkly indeed:
