Carpe Diem

Snow is a big deal in Charlotte.  This is the first snow in two years and it will probably be gone by tomorrow afternoon!
 So...we gotta strike while the outside is cold!!!   Homemade chicken soup from Susan Branch's chicken stock that I started yesterday in anticipation...  A very clever potholder by Karen:)
Mr. O'Quilts made the wonderful  pretzel bread
 Aldi furnished the fruit:)
 Himself made the fire....
 A glass of cheap wine...Thank you Dear Ol' Ma...*
 Then, since this is a quilting blog, not a snow blog and the old fashioned movie is over and the coziness enjoyed..I thought I would take some pix of my vintage cat pillows...  The blue one below made by a friend's grandmother in Miami...1979
  God knows where I got this one.......or..................................This one???  I told you I kept everything!





















* My mother wins these bottles of wine at the Assisted Living auction.  They give the residents 100$ fake money to bid on donated goods.  It is one of my mother's favorite activities.  She takes her fake money and buys wine and baubles.  She never gets around to have it opened and she can get a glass of wine if she wants at dinner...so she gives it to me.  Good thing as I am not on a million Parkinson's medications!!  And, it comes in handy on a Charlotte snow day:)

Heart Quilts for Sunshine finished

Today after the big birthday party yesterday, I had the energy left to finish binding two heart quilts for our Sunshine group..I heard a rumor at the Guild the other night that I was now heading it up...hmmm, well I guess that is ok.  It is always a challenge to put together  blocks made by others, but it works out too.  Our Sunshine group is so very lucky to have Terri Feehan to longarm our quilts.  She does a wonderful job, her   generous contribution allowing our group to work even faster making the tops.



With these in the wash, I am now relaxing by cutting up solid scraps into random widths and 5" charms for a rainy day.  Husband is making pretzel bread in our beautiful new buttercup yellow Kitchen Aide.
