Have I mentioned lately that I hate snow?! I do. Can't figure out why I've stayed in this area all my life -- really dislike winter.
It's been coming down since 9:30 this morning and probably won't end til 9:30 tonight. I've decided to let my neighbor plow the drive this time around -- it's really cold out there too. He has a plow on the truck that used to be Bill's and offers to plow the drive for free -- can't beat that!
So, I decided it would be a perfect day for sewing. Wednesday would have been Steve's 43rd birthday. I met his widow for lunch and afterward I stopped at Acorn Quilts in Rockford to see what was new (definitely needed a pick-me-up!) I found this fabric (it was brand new -- mine was the first cut off it!).
I bought enough to make a shower curtain for the little bath. So, that's what I made this morning. I still have my snowman quilts up in this bath, but it doesn't read obvious Valentine anyway, so I went ahead and hung it up.
In a week or two I'll hang a couple of heart/Valentine quilts in there. One I know I have to add a hanging sleeve to and I need to dig out the other ones to see what I actually have. I also started a little Valentine quilt to hang in there -- just 4 appliqued hearts. I spent an hour trying to find a contrasting or coordinating fabric for the quilt to set off the border, but can't find anything in the stash, so right now the quilt is pretty boring. I'll post a picture when I finish it --- I've only gotten one heart done so far.
Gratitudes:
My neighbor, Tim -- I would hate to have to clear the drive myself today.
I'm thankful I can stay in and sew on days like this.

I hate winter too! We are expecting some snow tonight. Lucky i am at a quilt retreat with some friends. Love your new curtain . Think of you often. Hope things are getting a bit easier.
Great job on the curtain. Never thought about making my own shower curtain. I guess you can also put blocks in there. What a great idea for a UFO top.
