Snowy Saturday

It's been awhile since I've done a "what's happening in your neck of the woods?" post. Here's the snowy scene around here:

You can't tell from this picture, but it's snowing fast and furious this morning. The new prediction is 5 - 8 inches before stopping. Looks like we're snowed in for the weekend, and I don't mind a bit!

And here's the cozy scene inside:

I've laid out all the Figgy Pudding fabric and hope to get some blocks sewn today for the Simple Squares Quilt-Along. 

Since I'm doing three quilt-alongs, I decided I'd better get myself organized! I even made a notebook and copied instructions for this quilt from Vicki's Sew Inspired blog and will add the other two quilt-along tutorials as they are posted next week.

Well, that's my Saturday. I'd better go get started having some fun! 

Update on Jonathan: He finished his plane repair work in Idaho, so today is a free day before flying back to Virginia on Sunday (please pray that the plows will have the roads clear enough for him to drive home safely--thanks!). He's planning to venture to Snake River Canyon today for some scenic photo ops. Oooh, I'd love to be there with him trying out my new camera!

Have a wonderful weekend wherever you are! What's going on in your neck of the woods this weekend?

We're located at the northern edge of the snow and we have a slight dusting and cold temps. I'm glad we didn't get the deep stuff but it's much prettier to gaze at. :) Enjoy your sewing. I hope to sew some blocks today too.

We've got 4 or 5 inches, and it's still snowing like crazy! They are predicting over a foot here. Poor Rob has to work the midnight shift all weekend. The kids are loving it, though!

Hi Deb,We have about 11and one half inches of snow here in Lynchburg. Michael had to go out and make a place for Sadie to go out and do her business. I did get to make some snow cream and it was soooooooooo good. Take care and tell all hello for me. Is Mill still with Betty?

No snow here in Georgia - just rain. My daughters and I spent the weekend at a Mother/Daughter Conference and Tea with author Stacy McDonald and her daughter Tiffany. It was definitely the best conference I've ever attended.
I'll be praying for a safe travel for your son.

Blessings,

Victoria

What a lovely cosy Saturday :)

Thanks for your comment on my blog, Deb! I also would never have tasted sauerkraut if I hadn't been tempted to make it myself . . . and now I don't even now if mine tastes like proper sauerkraut! I might have to buy some to check!

This weekend we visited my brother and his wife to say goodbye, as he is going to Canada for a couple of years. We've also been loving our garden. Our weather is beautiful, as we're having a lovely warm summer.

Hi Deb,

Ouch! So sorry to hear that you fell in the snow although the bath Hannah prepared looked gorgeous.
It's been a muggy humid weekend here, I'm just off to work on Tuesday morning.
Your quilting photos are great. I must email you about quilting -- I'm a backward beginner sewer and wonder if it could be in my future.
