Sew-In Turns Into Snow-In

 

Today was supposed to be my modern guild’s sew-in day.  However, because of the accumulation of snow overnight and the related road condition issues that accompany a large snowfall, the university where we meet closed the campus.

Snow accumulation overnight was just over 12".

Snow accumulation overnight was just over 12″.

It seemed appropriate that I use my quilting ruler to measure the snow accumulation since it was supposed to be a sew-in day.

Our neighbour used his snow blower to clear our driveway for us.

Yellow Scrappy Hexie Blocks

I am on a roll.  Today I finished 8 scrappy hexie blocks.  I don’t piece with a lot of yellow so when I saw a bag of yellow scraps/strings that someone had donated to the destash at our guild meeting, I snatched it up.  Yellow is such a happy, cheerful colour.  These blocks will definitely brighten up the finished quilt.
