Our New Year's Low Country boil...
We had a quiet time at home bringing in the new year. Well, not really so quiet. There were fireworks exploding all over the area. They started at 8 pm and went on until well after midnight!
Watson in his usual hiding spot...
The pets are not big fans of the explosions...nor am I! We spent the early part of the evening in one room with load jazz music playing. Worked well. When it came to bed time though...well, let's say Watson acted as if he hadn't heard those roof rocking explosions all night and so he went a bit wild. Personally I think it was a ruse so he would be allowed onto the bed....
About 1/4 of the Ocean Wave quilt...
I started working on a 5 year old UFO...a reproduction Ocean Waves! It came to the top of the list when I realized the log cabin quilt on our bed is looking a bit worse for wear...time for a new quilt! This one is easy to expand...mainly since I had only made a few dozen blocks!
Dobby...guardian of the blocks....
I thought I had made a lot of the half square triangles but as I started piecing the blocks the stash of hst dwindled quickly! This quilt will take about 900 hst! Sometimes I wish I didn't do the math...
