Beautiful job on that quilt! Your winter is more the norm for our part of the country. But, we have very little snow on the ground. We've been given a good winter thaw every time we've had a good snowfall this winter. Right now we're going thru very strong winds and rapidly dropping temps. Keep up the good job quilting. I'm keeping as comfy as possible with a nasty cold crud (making good use of quilts I've made).
