Winners!

Look here! We won some money in the Super Bowl Pool at the legion. What a nice surprise. Hubs did a good job getting us in the pool! 

Now I'm finishing up this cute baby quilt the pattern is called Peach Cobbler, it's from Sew Yeah Quilting. Here's a Link to Sew Yeah.

I had some fleece for the backing so I loaded it up on Freddie the long arm. I had good success with this pattern-it's called squares I think.

It sewed up in 3 zones and I must have done something right because it made the top and bottom edges correctly!!! YAY!!!!

Here it is all ready to hit the washer for a rinse and spin.

The gray plaid fleece on the back is nice and soft-you can see the stitching a little better.

I usually run finished quilts through the rinse and spin cycle in cold water. It lets me see if there are any places I might have messed up. And I can clip off any threads that didn't get washed in.
 

It's something like 3 degrees here today, but I wanted daylight pictures so I sucked it up and took quick pictures out doors on the deck line.

Nice binding! I think this will be a good baby boy quilt-the gray plaid makes me think boy I guess. The jungle animals are so cute, I got this fabric at a sample sale over at Heritage Quilting  in Amana a while back. The orange border fabric was in my stash-no idea where I got it!

That shadow in the middle is annoying, but it's too cold to fuss around getting a better angle!

Brrrrrrr

 So here comes the snow! We got about 6 inches on Monday.  I was so thrilled that my friend, Snowblower, started right up! And even more thrilled that the gas can in the garage actually had gas in it!!

 What a job! Thank goodness it wasn't on Friday, because on Friday we had Furnace drama. This is what a used electronic ignitor looks like....we had this one replaced last year.

 This is what a broken electronic ignitor looks like, what a chilly problem to have, but thankfully it was only about 30 degrees on Friday night so when our furnace guy came on Saturday morning we were just chilly, not frozen stiff...like we would have been today!

 brrr, look at that thermometer today, and the forecast is not good....

"Arctic air remains on top of us as the mercury falls once again tonight.  Wind chill values tonight stay between -20 and -30, making it a dangerous cold." Yeah, as opposed to a safe cold...whatever, TV weather guy.
