Lots of weather and a little sewing.

Oklahoma was bombarded with a snow-storm that the eastern states are now getting. When we get 4 to 6" of the white stuff, it also comes with 70mph winds. Further east in our state, there was a record snow storm. I actually think the rest of our snow went to south Texas somewhere the way the wind was howling.

Snow-days make for a good day to stay in the house and sew. Or what I did..sort scraps.
This is the progress made so-far on my triple irish chain. Don't forget that it's made from 1.5" strips. It's definitely a form of madness.
While searching for strips out of my scrap bins, I'm also sorting. There's a pile for plaids (do these multiply?), solids, reds and getting one 2" square from every piece that's wide enough. Oh, there's another bin for weird shapes for another scrappy spiderweb (someday maybe). Is anybody collecting any kind of scraps that they'd like me to make a pile of?


This was taken awhile back, but I still like seeing this poor starving cat (haha) setting inside. He just sets and smiles while I'm standing there cooking.


This is my gift to myself this year. It's a clear extension table from All-Brands. My original Bernina one finally broke, and Bonnie Hunter recommended this one to me. She also sews with a 1080 Bernina.

You can see my madness of strips underneath the table, and I think that is why I wanted one so bad. I'm also VERY messy and kinda keeps me knowing where things are....kinda.

It's a very balmy 2 degrees outside and we're hoping to get up to 6. Really glad I don't live any further north. Our calves all went to the sale barn the past two weeks and my fat Mama cows are tough enough to survive a day-long blizzard. They'll see the feed truck coming today and know they're going to get fed again.

Edit: I changed it from 1/5 to 1.5" strips. Just about an inch different in width!
