Waiting Out The Cold Weather

 The rains have subsided ,there's still talk of snow🤷 nine outta ten it's usually just talk lol meanwhile there's homemade chicken & dumplings happening in the kitchen 

what better way to ward off this bitter cold  day than with ginger lemon tea,it makes a big mug so I like to mix it in a mason jar sometimes,sugar amount depends on your sweetness taste

I've started reading the last book in Debbie Macombers Rose Harbor series

meanwhile in the sewing sewing little odds & ends are getting those finishing touches like my purple swing dress with just one sleeve to go! I thought I'd never reach the end of that hem 🙆I measured it & it's 97" seam to seam , certainly better not wear it on a windy day🤣 Anns quilt just needs the binding sewn down 

January's color for RSC is green,my greens look a little blàh perhaps I need to pull out allllll the totes😄

do you start off with a plan then vere off to something different? every year for Angela's rainbow scrap challenge I tell myself my fussy cuts, no tiny blocks big! big! big! you know the ones, one to two blocks a month & be done ! yeah never happens ,this past yr almost 300 tiny blocks for a color wash 🙆 lol but maybe just maybe🤔this will be the year 

looks good on paper,looks like a win win as far as a big block goal right ? take a closer look 👀 let's see what we have here

(2) 6 1/2"

(4) 3 1/2"

(16) 2"  = (4 ) 4patches

so I'm cutting 22 blocks to sew  10 blocks together to make a block ,so I can only make one!🤣🤣
