It's another day inside with -14 degrees this morning and a high forecast of 4 degrees. Another day that the boys are off of school. Boy are they excited! So, I'm thinking ahead to warmer days and summertime by the water. When I woke up this morning, the thermostat had stopped working and my second floor was 42 degrees. It has taken most of the day today to warm back up.
I was sewing in my chilly room, but hoping that thoughts of the beach would warm me up. (I managed to sew through the chills). I made 2 pillows today with a sailboat/water theme. I had purchased the unfinished boat quilt pieces from a garage sale this past summer and knew that I wanted to make them into a pillow. I used blue sailboat fabric that I also found a while back at a sale for the back of the pillow. I had to finish the quilt blocks with blue and red borders. They came out really nice. I just may keep these for myself.
When I bought the boat unfinished quilt pieces, I also bought other unfinished quilt pieces. I was just looking through my fabric collection and found some pieces to finish them with. More pillows are on the way.....
But I'm taking a break now to eat the brownies that just finished baking!
