Brrr. I've been trapped with the Seattle snow. Most years we don't get any, or it only lasts a day or two -- not this year! We are going on a week plus. I know the rest of the country laughs at us how we shut down during snow but we have a lot of hills, a lot of marginal cars, and people don't get the opportunity to get used to driving in the snow. Back when I lived in Alaska, the first two weeks of the snow season always meant an increase in accidents, and then we got used to it for the next 6 months. Here in Seattle, they never get used to it...
The major chain grocery store I use has had huge gaps on the shelves. I got one of the last cartons of milk on Friday, apparently they had a deliver because there were different ones available on Monday. Every single egg was gone. 80% of the meat section was empty. No one in the bakery and 90% of premade stuff gone. I didn't go down the bottled water or toilet paper aisles because I also shop at costco, but typically those are empty too.
But it's been good for sewing. My Tuesday small group is just down the road about half a mile, so despite the deep snow and slush and trees falling I went and visited with the hostess since it was just the two of us this week, lol it's a small group
I finished off the binding of my "Pig Pen" baby quilt -- for those not keeping track, it's the Year of the Pig, and besides, I just liked the fabrics. The white came out of my stash, the pink was thrift store, the pig fabrics on the front and backing from another thrift store sale (it was all $1/yard or less!), and the sashing was given to me by the small group hostess.
Here's the pre-bound pigpen. I've been using a vintage machine for the last 20 years, this was my first project done on the modern machine my friend gave me in November.
