You sound like one of us upper mid-westerners. As soon as we hear snow storm, we get the car in the garage, shovel by the back door and settle in next to our machine and "enjoy" the weather from indoors. I made three quilt tops this January because of stormy weather in Michigan. Let it snow so I can sew! be safe, be warm and keep that hand stitching piece handy next to the supply of candles and firewood.
