On another happy note, Cindy, from the Fluffy Sheep Quilting Blog, sent me a colorful assortment of solid fat quarters as a thank you for me mailing her some handspun Corriedale yarn. I can hardly wait to create something new for my kitchen with them! Thanks, Cindy, for the fabric gift.
My two oldest sons win the patience award, as they spent hours every ski day taking photos and videos. Kudos to you both, Aaron and Zach, for being such great photographers. I thought in the future I'd share some of the videos/photos that they took. I don't know how they do it, snowboarding while filming, as I'd probably run off the slope!
I've been working on a gray variegated wool (Patons Kroy FX Sock Yarn in Clay Colors) sock using a new pattern from the book, Toe-Up 2-at-a-Time Socks, by Melissa Morgan-Oakes. The pattern is Seagrass, and it forms an interesting texture that runs up the socks. I have one sock done, and I'm just starting the toe to the second one. Unlike the book, I just knit them one at a time using a long circular needle.
In quilting news, I'm back to piecing hexies along with working on the mariner's compass quilt. What can I say? Hexies are just fun. I've been watching football bowl games at night and I sew hexies while watching. I want to make a quilt for our living room using a wool batting, so that we have something warm and soft to snuggle under.
The other day it snowed in the valley and in the mountains. Can you see me smiling? Fresh powder!! That's what I'm talking about. We'll be heading up the mountain to do some flying on our skis. Yes, I smile the whole time :-)
Have a great day,
Judy

Oh Judy, what a beautiful postcard and the fabrics. You have very handsome sons. Thank You for visiting me. Have a nice weekend
What size are your hexes? I am addicted to them, which you may know. ;-D Wool batting is a must for lap quilts!
love the tones of grey in the new socks. hexies are addictive (I have been sewing them for a quilt for a year now)
Wow - you have been busy! Love all those projects.....and is that snow falling? real snow? wet white cold stuff? Some of that would be very welcome here right now.....
Looks like we may be sending you more of the fluffy white stuff!
LOVE the quilted postcard. It's a beauty. Those hexagons look like they are coming out perfectly. I'm looking into doing a small lap quilt with wool batting too. Any recommendations?
Hi Judy, I found your blog via a post on Bimbipea's blogspot with a lovely gift you sent her for christmas. You have a lovely blog. The quilted postcard is great, I'd never seen one before :) Have a great weekend!
