It was Groundhog week! You know what that means? (If you've stuck around this long, you do) Meatloaf! So here is this year's dinner. Before, and after. Phil says "Six more weeks of winter, better eat your veggies." Thanks Phil. You were delicious. And six more weeks of the (non)winter we've had? Fine with me.
And I haven't just been shaping rodents out of blended meat, either. I've been sewing. I have all of Laura's blocks done and sewn into a 54"x72" top, I have the backing, and the batting. I'll either layer it this week, or decide to take it to Middlebury and quilt it on the large machine.
The next item on the list is a quilt for our Talent Show's silent auction. I have always been the food person for the show, this year someone new is helping. She wants to take a big job, and I've handed food off to her. Fine with me - it's a last minute thing more than anything, and I'm happy to let her do it. That means, though, that the open Silent Auction spot is now mine. And it'll be fine too. May 5th, so some time yet to round up donations (and get my own done.)These are a few of the 48 (I hope) blocks I've got kinda/sorta done. They are all trimmed so the block formed by the intersection of four corners will be square. Problem is, I don't know what to put in those corners. White, with *something* appliqued on it? Black+white? A single color on all? Random? I'll ponder...
And my dear friend Susan is leaving me. When school is done in June, she's off to Virginia Beach. Lucky them. Her favourite colour is green, and I've got a lovely celery on white toile that I'll use for the "white" in a scrappy slightly nontraditional single Irish Chain based on the blocks in a Shelburne Museum quilt. I'll share pictures as I progress.
Now, though, it's sunny and bright, though a little cool (about 20ยช.) I'm gonna dress for the weather and head outside for a while.

Just catching up and so happy to see Phil. Although I would normally dislike his prediction, we could have many more weeks of our current winter and I'd be thrilled. 45-50 in Feb. Bring it on.
