Nothing used, nothing added.  I did get started on this month's quilt, which is the challenge quilt Sandi and I are doing.  She started hers a couple of months ago, and I finally got mine started yesterday.  I hope to get a couple of blocks stitched (applique) today.  The quilt is Country Cottages by Shabby Fabrics.

 

We seem to be out of the deep freeze today--we register a balmy 17 degrees!  That's a change from below zero weather.  We had to drive through a snow storm coming home from Mass last night--everyone was driving responsibly through the Canyon except one person.  Thank goodness we didn't find him wrecked beside the road.  The long term forecast shows snow for the next several days.  Our resident deer family has been burrowing into the snow at the edge of the property and sleeping there.  They love using Smokey's path because they don't have to struggle in the deep snow.  I'm happy to have a day to sit by the fire, work on an afghan (and maybe a quilt), and watch some football games.  DH drove for the local dealership last week--to Salt Lake City--and had icy and snow-packed roads all the way.  I was so happy when he called and told me he was on the outskirts of our tiny town--God is good!  The Pass is always scary in the winter months.  The trip took longer than normal because of the "ice skating" they were doing!

I hope everyone has a productive week.  It's good to have Judy working on a quilt again!
