It was 3 degrees when we got up this morning. We are hoping for at least the teens later on. Meanwhile, indoors, it's cozy with this lovely amaryllis popping in its full splendor! There are now two blossoms on one stalk and another on that stalk waiting its turn. Then there's a second stalk not revealing itself yet. What a thrill when they bloom! I hear it can be summered over and rebloom. We'll see about that.
I went to quilt guild last night. It had been snowing lightly but stopped as I drove downtown. It's been very cold so the snow is light and dry - not windshield scraping necessary. I showed the two quilts I have finished, and Marie told me that the quilt she was quilting is also ready for pick up. I'll drop it off tomorrow and bring her another one.
That will complete my four finished UFOs for the month! I'll post photos of the two quilts I showed at guild when they are posted on Facebook. I find it difficult to take photos of finished quilts in winter. It's often gloomy out, and I have to stand in the snow while Paul holds the quilt up. Ugh!
I have
Dear Jane left to work on but think I'll do something else for a while. Karen Abrahamovich's "Holland" is on my list. After visiting Polly, I am armed with a whole lot of dark blue fabric to use for the country. A 16" x 16" quilt requires 1" strips, so I think I will work on a 36" x 36" one, requiring 1.5" strips. Karen's instructions look pretty clear, so I hope to get to it today, before and after yoga.

what a pretty flower - I missed not having them this year. We will have winter arrive - snow - Friday night or Saturday morning - everyone is getting ready for this event-not a little dusting but maybe 6-12 inches - that will be pretty but slow for this area to clear up.
