Happy Valentine's Day

It's been extremely cold in this area (and probably more than half of the US).  I have no heat in the basement (guy that finished basement was a moron).  Anyway, so I haven't worked on the windmill quilt all week.

I did go to Belvidere on Friday and appliqued with the girls -- love that shop (Sunshine Stitches) and the owner -- wonderful lady.  And that was the first time since the 4th Friday in January that I picked up my applique.

So, now it's too cold in the basement, I did finish the applique block I was working on last and did go down with the space heater on to prep the next one.

Block 6 is finished:

This is the Pumpkin Hill quilt.  I am getting tired of it!  But, there are only 8 blocks and the swag at the top and I have them all prepped, so I will finish it before I go back to Cottontail Cottage.  

I did buy another pattern that I'm anxious to start:  Vintage Valentine (and I don't have it in front of me, so can't tell you the designer). I think I'm tired of doing birds, pumpkins, bunnies and squirrels!

Definitely gonna contact some furnace people and have them put heat in the basement - it's okay in the fall/spring, but when it's below zero outside, it gets pretty cold down there and my little space heater isn't big enough to do a large area.  I'll get a price on adding a humidifier to the furnace also, since I only have a small one in the hallway that I have to constantly refill when it's this cold!

Until next time.....blessings.
