My flowers survide the cold. I cleaned out and organized on sewing cabinet, made my DH the airplane shirt and made 28 veggie microwave cooking bags. for Baked potatoes, corn on cob and other veggies.

You're so industrious, I am happy for you!
Me? I'm going back to bed!

My DH is an airplane freak, he loves that shirt and I just love the fabric, can I ask where you got the fabric? Glad your flowers made it, mine did, too. Nice stash, too!

Great pictures. I can't wait for it to warm up so I can plant my Pansies.

Flowers?? I'm jealous!! We just had a blizzard last week in Iowa!!

Hoping the tulips and daffodils start poking their little heads up soon around here

Nice pictures. You sure have been busy!

Greetings from Flagstaff,

Glad to hear your flowers made it through; those violas and pansy are pretty hardy once they've acclimated. I'll sue be glad when it warms up enough up here to get some in the ground again!

Sounds like you've been a BUSY quilter!!!

Just curious; is there a LQS in Cottonwood? I usually shop up here, or Phx, or in Tucson when visiting my daughter.

have you used the veggie bags? I made one with the "special" warm batting, put a potatoe in it, set the microwave for 8 mins, at 5 I smelled something and open the door to find my fabric smoking! it's not a high powered one, only 700 watts, I had made 6 bags to give away but now I guess they can be hot pads for the table.

Jan in VA, That was a good lol from you. :lol:

Kathy, I don't use the warming batting, I just use the white felt from the bolt or regular batting like for place mats. I like the fusible but it is just a little over my price, I usualy use the white felt cause it comes 60 wide and I get more for my money. I have sold lots of these veggie bags and use them also. I put instructions on mine, Potatoes take 8 to five minutes. For other veggies like corn on the cob you sprinkle some water in the bag and husk the corn and wrap in paper towels and 3 medium ears will take about 9 or 10 minutes. I don't know if the warming batting has somethin to do with that. I found my pattern instructions in a magazine. Suzanne

WOW You were busy

I like the airplane fabric and your sewing room looks great! :) Thanks for sharing.

Hi Wendy in Flagstaff, Yes we have a LQS here in Cottonwood. I am like you, and When I go to Phoenix or Prescott, I make my trips count. The quilting shops are too expensive if you sell your products. Your JoAnns has reopened I hear. IT will be spring soon. Flaggstaff has had a rough time with fires and floods. and now cold weather. ther sure is alot of difference from here to there and it is only 60 miles. it got to 16 degrees a couple nights last week. I saw what you got down to up there. Suzanne

nice shirt

Please send a little of that warm weather and ambition north to Salt Lake City. I sure wish all my fabric was in the same place and visable.

You sure were busy and made good use of your time.
