One T-shirt quilt

I quilted #1 t-shirt quilt today.  I loaded it last night, but was tired, wanted to watch the Olympics and frankly was a little concerned with how it would quilt. 
I had no trouble with it at all!  I used
Superior's King tut thread on top and Sew Fine in the bobbin. I just did a big meander on it.  A few of the blocks, I outlined around a motif but not much of that.  The only problem I could say I had was some of the seams were so bulky, I did have to really go slow and push down the top at the seam to get the hopping foot over without causing a wrinkle.  I tried to press all the seams open but some of them flipped during loading (or I sewed them wrong when I was assembling top).

On the snow front, well it finally seems to have stopped. And the sun has come out.  I think it has made the top of the snow nice and crusty and Otis can walk on it, Annie too, but she sinks a bit. 

 It was the first day in weeks that Otis ventured off the deck.  Annie checked out the entire yard and discovered that the snow it piled higher than the fence.  UH-oh.  She tried to jump out but I was watching and growled at her so she backed off.      

Friday Post

should be my week's worth of bl-a-day blocks.  But alas, they are still in a nice neat pile waiting to be sewn together. 

This has been my main focus for the week.

Clearing the sidewalk...

clearing the deck...

...not quite there yet. 

And of course clearing the driveway:

Those are my tire tracks.....I got out yesterday....woohoo! I have just enough room to back out of the garage. 

They're calling for more snow on Sunday night....

Today I'm getting out again; while the gettin's good!

   

  I'm standing at our sidewalk--behind me the longer part of the driveway and around the back is a lovely cake frosting smoothness.  They say we got about 22", that might be the official totals but the picket fence around the driveway is 3 1/2 feet high and you can only see the top 6 inches...2 feet, 3 feet what ever it is-

it's a lot of HEAVY snow! 

Tomorrow, as long as I can move, we will dig out the lower 40!

I did sew this afternoon and I'm going to do some hand stitching tonight unless I fall asleep. Zzzzzz.


Edit:  Paul did finally get home this evening about 6pm!  He had to work  Friday night and then got stuck there, as the roads were so bad. 

A Snow Day

Where is my sidewalk?   It's there between the lamp post and the valentines day flag.  I shoveled it out last night at 10pm!  This is 7am and it's still snowing.
Here is the "view" out my front door after I shoveled it open. 

And these are out my deck door.

I shoveled a path to the steps, but you couldn't see the steps when I got there.  The snow is still coming down, only 3 more inches before noon. 

I think I'll be trading in my needle for a shovel today. 

Paul had to work last night.  

He just stayed there and slept at his desk. He has to work today too.  Just as well; I don't think he can get in to driveway.
