Storm Warning across our county...

When the storm warning crawl goes across the TV screen my New England roots really show...

First, check the flashlight and battery situation...then the radio...then the camper stove (I can live without heat but without coffee or tea - no!)  Next, check the food situation...both human and pet.  After all of this I decided to go to the store early in hopes of beating the crowds...no chance!

I think I got the last battery in Home Depot...and the storm isn't supposed to start until Tuesday night!

I know I make fun of how everything closes here when there is threat of snow...but when they say threat of wind and ice.  You can bet the electricity will be out for a few days!

Now I can focus on the immediate issues...like the washing machine that isn't working (could have something to do with my DH jamming it so full of clothes...) and my DH's car that will not start (most likely just the battery)...or the right burner of my stove that decided not to heat up this morning...That is my three, right?  So no more at least until after the storm....

I've been moving some past projects around...here is a vintage baby quilt and one I made based on it...

I really like how the embroidery is part of the quilting though it does take a bit more hand strength then regular quilting.

Sounds like you have your bases covered. Hope you escape without too much discomfort.
I like your little twin quilts. : )

The embroidery letters are so clever and subtle. It doesn't scream "Alphabet Quilt". Always smart to be prepared, but I hope you don't need it.

I have been watching the weather reports the last couple of days. Hope that storm does not hit you as hard as it has hit the mid-west. WOW! Stay warm and dry.
