Hope you are not dealing with SAD (seasonal affected disorder) this time of year like I have been. We had 11 days with no sun. It was terrible! I am on Vitamin D3 and that has helped a little bit. I must say though, having a few snowy days has been nice. If it's going to be dark and gloomy it can at least snow. :) We had over 4 inches yesterday. Luckily the roads were clear this morning. I live farther from work now and do not like to drive on bad roads. But I made it.
Yesterday was my son's 23rd birthday. I just can't believe he is that old. This time really does fly, especially when they fly the nest. We got together with my mom, sister, brother in law and Sam and his girlfriend on Saturday. We went to Texas Roadhouse for supper. It was a great day.
At the end of the year I decided to make my word of the year quilt. When my local quilt shop went out of business, I stocked up on fabric. I bought a bundle of shiny fabric. It is cotton and sews like other cotton fabric. I had some red with gold dots left over from a Christmas quilt I made. So here it is:
I am going to be 50 this year. To me that screams gold. And we have to SHINE while we still have a light. :) I used Sam Hunter Designs book Quilt Talk. I use this book every year and just love it! The letters are paper pieced and Sam gives great directions.
I was able to sew for the past couple of weekends. I have 2 baby quilt tops done and 1 of those quilted and bound. Pictures next time.
Blessings
Amy
