Thank you, QNS, for worrying about me--thankfully we have power that so many don't. We got about 8" of snow then about 1/2" of ice on top of the snow. Took forever to dig out and as soon as I got my car cleaned off the snow plow came by so now I have packed heavy snow all the way up to the mirror on the driver's side--I'm glad we're off on Wednesdays, I wouldn't have gotten to work. MrJanRn is digging it out again. That's a great MB, I love the star pattern. You're going to have a lovely MB quilt.
Anne, I feel your pain (not knee pain) about not being able to go shopping. My friends & I got gift cards to various LQS's for Christmas and haven't been able to use them yet. I need a fabric fix!
Jeanie, that's a really pretty block from OK. I hope you get the rain you need. I can't believe the pics I've seen of California's drought.
