As I wrote in my previous post, I’ve been working on the Stay at Home Round Robin 2023. The prompt for round #1 was spools and stars for round #2. You are free to interpret the prompts in whichever way that you may wish. It may not be clear from this photo, but the fabrics in the second border all feature stars and the colors are brighter than they appear here. The prompts are released on Mondays, and so far, so good . . .
The other day the weatherfolks said that January was within the top five all-time warmest Januarys in this area. Tonight we are preparing for some of the coldest weather that we have had in decades. There are three words you never want to hear in a forecast “bitter arctic blast,” but that is what is heading straight for us. It is supposed to be “9 below” on Saturday morning. Yikes!!! Make that double Yikes!!! We have been instructed to let our faucets drip which is unprecedented for us. They have also stressed that this is not the time to try to save on the heating bill, but we should instead turn the thermostat up to 72 or 74 to keep up with the cold. Fortunately, things will warm up by Sunday afternoon. In fact, the weatherman just said that from Saturday morning to Sunday afternoon the temperature may possibly go up fifty-four degrees!!! Crazy!!!
Except for when I have to briefly take Emma out, I will stay inside and spend the day stitching. ;-)
My friend Laurel sent along this meme.
Stay warm and keep stitching. ;-)
I LOVED the cartoon! Your SAHRR is coming along nicely. I like your interpretations of the clues! I wondered how cold it was in your area. Brrrrr. . . .I thought 21 was awful which is what the low was here a couple days ago. ----TerryK@OnGoingProjects
ReplyDeleteHi Terry! Yes, the temps are dropping quickly around here. When we wake up tomorrow morning, the temp will be -8 with a wind chill factor of -34!!! We are expected to break records set way back in the 1830s. But . . . the temperature at the end of next week will be 50 degrees!
DeleteOoh your piece is coming along really well. I like it...xox
ReplyDeleteI like your little star border - it works well with your design. Yes, those negative temps are nothing to mess with. They are not uncommon here; we've just come through a spell of really bitterly cold weather. Stay safe and warm.
ReplyDeleteYour SAHRR quilt is growing SEW nicely!
