This has been a fun weekend for me. Friday, I headed over to Everett to visit my sister, my son and daughter in law, and step-daughter. As usual, I stopped in Bothel at "Keepsake Cottage Fabrics" and shopped for about 45 minutes. I love this quilt shop!
My sister and I then spent time Friday and Saturday visiting more of the quilt shops in the area. Saturday night we all went to dinner at "Bob's", now a chain of burger joints started in Lynden, Washington.
I took today off from work just in case they closed Snoqualmie Pass and I couldn't get home. There was compact snow and ice on top of the pass but I didn't have any problems. I woke up at 5 am, looked out the window, saw that it wasn't raining, so I packed up my stuff and hit the road. My sister gives me a bad time about waking up early and sneeking off!
I worked on my February Schnibbles "i.s.t.h.". Sometimes I have a difficult time figuring Carries instructions and this was one of those times. I made the center panel first and changed my mind about the fabric for the triangles. I may have to rip some seams out and redo the center. So, without further ado:
By the way, I used French General's "Rouenneries". Maybe I will like it better after it is quilted?!
