More Snow, More String Blocks Done!

Once again, it snowed most of the afternoon. And it is still coming down! At times it came down light, but other times it was really big flakes and very heavy. I spent the afternoon making another 12 String Blocks.
I needed to get to the post office also, but, that will have to wait until Monday now.
The mail woman brought me some wonderful "squishy" mail today! Some completed Happy Blocks from Cathy W, and two very cute QFK quilts from Kathy K.

Snow Snow, Please go away! I didn't want you to visit today!

Snow Snow, Go away, but please don't come another day! After all the beautiful springy weather we've been having, our ground is once more covered in lots of that yucky, cold white stuff! Lol, Speaking from a parent's point of view, I sure hope they do not cancel school tomorrow!
About the only good thing about it being so cold outside is, it gave me a good excuse to retreat to my cozy sewing room, and finish those string blocks I posted about several weeks ago.

Making String Blocks

I love making these, and its sure a good way to use all those scraps. I've emptied part of my bag of strings out onto the table, and have gotten my center strings aligned diagonally onto my foundation fabric squares. I cut the the foundation pieces at 7" square, and then will later trim the finished string blocks to 6.5". I am going to be sewing a dozen of these tonight! I like to chain sew these, they go quite fast that way!

String Blocks

Wow, very long and exciting holiday weekend behind me, now its time to get back to sewing!
Monday, I got the rest of my 4" and 6.5" Happy Block Centers cut, and packaged to mail.
Today I pulled out my bin of strings, and will begin making my 24 string blocks for a swap for the StashBuilders group.
Also need to start on a "Pay It Forward" baby quilt that is due to one of my Facebook friends!
