Weather

Yesterday we saw our first snow. We lucked out compared to the west side of the state. The Grand Rapids area received up to a foot of snow. The news showed downtown GR and it was a mess. It seems that people don't remember how to drive in the snow until after the first snow. Ionia, which isn't that far away, got 8 inches. They are saying we will get snow tomorrow night into Monday and then a huge storm on Wednesday. I need to get the snowblower ready, so I don't have to shovel. Its way too much work to shovel when its wet and heavy.

I've been piecing my double delight top. I've only got a few more rows to go and the top will be complete. My next step is find some fabric to use as borders. I would like to find the same cheddar/rust color, but I can't remember if I bought it at Joann's or Walmart. I may have enough pink to do the borders, but I'm sure I will check out some new fabric while searching for a cheddar/rust.

The new Bonnie Hunter mystery is already up to step 4. I've been printing the directions out as they are posted and I'm not sure if I want to tackle this quilt. It looks amazingly difficult and lots of little pieces. It looks even more involved than the Double Delight that I'm trying to finish. I've got a few other quilts to finish before I even think about starting this mystery. Its hard because I do want to start collecting and cutting up fabric. I just have to keep telling myself to get the UFO's done first.
