Timeless is Growing

 Hello Everyone,

I have really enjoyed making this medallion quilt.  Each row adds so much character to the quilt, and you receive instant gratification seeing it come alive and grow into a real beauty. The little purple blocks are done and now added to the mix. 

I made quick work making all of the components for the block and put them on the block layout sheet which is included in the pattern.

Then I sewed the basket rows onto the quilt.  An added bonus is that the baskets fit perfectly (imagine that) and the quilt now measures 48" x 48".

This is the next row up which will be a piece of cake......if everything behaves and it fits just the way it should and my calculations are correct. Fingers crossed. It can't be that hard....right?

Our mechanical genius son, Kade, is coming up this weekend to attempt resuscitation of the snowblower....assuming it's not already on life support.  His Connecticut trip got pushed back a week, so I'm feeling hopeful that we won't have to wait until Spring for a daring mountain rescue.

Meanwhile, Weather Underground keeps increasing the snow totals like it's trying to win a prize.....or gold medal!

Bob, husband of my dear friend Candace and full-time fountain of questionable wisdom, suggested that Mr. Joe spray the entire snowblower with WD-40. (Isn't WD-40 extremely combustible?????) If that fails, give it a good whack with a hammer.  And if that fails, pour Vodka in the gas tank.  To clarify; the snowblower's gas tank, not Mr. Joe's!

With advice like this and Kade's impending arrival, I'm optimistic the Great Snowblower Saga will finally come to a close this weekend....one way or another.

Soon,

Lynn
