Aren't cold winter days perfect for quilting? I love both quilts but my favorite is the subtle colors in the star quilt. We have had over 9 days below zero in the month of January so far.........unusual for central IL. Right now it is snowing with a wintery mix predicted for later, then up to several inches of the white stuff by tomorrow. We still have another month or two of winter, so plan on getting a lot done at the sewing machine. Right now I am working on two alphabet books for our two - one year old grandsons. So much fun picking out fabrics and doing the large applique.
