Taking advantage of our snow day

Yep, it is snowing in my part of Texas.  I just had to go out and make a snowman.....



This is the Jelly roll race quilt or 40 minute quilt.  I do have a border on it now but am too lazy to take a picture....yep...lazy lazy me.


Here is a you tube for you

She is using scraps.




Monday I was able to make this quilt.  I wanted something to match my
table runner.



Can't wait to get it quilted...but today I am working on a UFO.....taking advantage of the snow.

  2. Barb, that was an awesome tutorial. I could make some scrappy backs or even some baby quilts. I love the way yours turned out. I did not know that it snows in Texas.

  3. You do work fast, Barb. It's a good skill when making a Texas snowman, before it all melts.

  6. Love your snowman. He caught my eye and I had to stop and take a look. You got snow! Goodness. We expect it here in Michigan, but you? Like your quilts too. You've been busy.

  8. It looks as if you got more snow than I did. I have only made one quilt using that method and I didn't like it so I chopped it into blocks.

  11. When I was a teacher, I loved snow days! Didn't get too many living in N. TX, though!
