In A Deep Freeze!

Brrrrr! That’s about all I have to say for this next couple of days.

This was my view of Quiltville Inn as we rounded the corner yesterday – it looks peaceful, but boy is it cold.

This morning is our coldest yet – it was 15f this morning with a high of 17f expected. Tonight’s low overnight? 8.

You better believe that those sinks will be left dripping!

We had already parked both vehicles down at the bottom of the drive, neighbor Barbara offering up a piece of her parking area for the van.

Come with me on our morning RZR shuttle trip down to the bottom with the plow engaged:

All the way down!
But we needed to get to the inn to check on the ladies. Here are some things we saw on our way:

It’s kind of a vehicle cluster at the bottom of the drive.

But we should be back into the 40s by the weekend and things will thaw and we’ll be able to park at the top again. It’s always an adventure.

As we came down the mountain to lower elevations, we saw that they didn’t have as much snow and ice as we did up top.

I love the old red barns…

In the warmth of the Quilting Quarters, the quilters have been busy!

While my own Old Town hangs in the foyer – many are making their own versions!

It’s so fun to see the chosen fabrics!

This oldie but goodie is coming together. This pattern is my Hunter’s String Star. Always love a good red and white quilt – but this one is grand in any colorway, even scrappy rainbow everything.

Love how this is coming together!

Something fun is happening here – I love the plum fabrics.

This reminds me of the bare branches outside –

Sampler just shouts spring!

1930s cuteness! Machine quilting happening –

Lovely Burgoyne Surrounded blocks –

Ready to add borders!

It’s great having the house full and bustling again. I’m glad this group was able to shift their dates to come early and be all settled in before the snow began.

We are hoping for Over The Porch Rail photos tomorrow afternoon, but it is all going to be weather depending, of course.

As for me – I’ve been feeling kind of Grinchy.

I did my best to keep news off and just sing along as the music played my favorite 70s-70s-80s songs and drown myself in paper piecing log cabin blocks.

Everything goes in these, and I mean EVERYTHING.

This is how Grinch ended up. Can you see him?

Here’s another.

Remember when I first coined the phrase “If it’s still ugly you just haven’t cut it small enough?”

These blocks prove it’s completely absolutely and abundantly true.

And there is no such thing as “That doesn’t go with that.” Yes. Yes it does.

This morning from the front porch.
It may have been only 15f degrees but at least the sun is doing its darndest to come out and shine.
Today will be more of the same.
Fun visits with the ladies, perhaps enjoying a hot cuppa in the Hen Den with the fire in the gas stove going.
More log cabin blocks. Honestly, I do not believe they are making a dent and I need about 30 more to get the job done. That wont make a dent either.
At this point – all I can say is at least it is keeping me out of the bars! LOL!
And for what it’s worth – Russia invaded Ukraine and started this war. Not the other way around. The gaslighting is so thick right now I just shake my head until I cant see straight.
