Good Morning World! The sunrise this morning was beautiful! I contemplated going back to bed for an hour after Vince left for work but decided against it. Had I gone back to bed, I would have missed this sunrise!

In addition to the Quilt for an Hour project, I think I’ll start a monthly challenge to get us to use our stashes. No prizes - just the satisfaction of knowing that you are using your stash.

Today was another day I had planned to spend almost the entire day sewing. I can’t find my groove!
Yesterday I made dinner for tonight so all I had to tonight was pop it in the oven. Lunch was done so I should have had the entire day to sew, right? Guess not!

Chad’s car is parked in the garage but behind his car is about 40 feet of ice. I asked him yesterday to clean the ice behind his car because he was supposed to start school today. He was outside working in single digit temps for about four hours and this is how much [...]
