Winter Comes Early

 


Winter has come early to my quilty corner.

This is what greeted me when I opened my back door this morning. 

It is still snowing.


Mr Scrapatch ventured out to put seed in the feeders before he left for work

and this was the snowy path that greeted him.

This is a photo he took of his Saint Francis statute on the way to the shed for the birdseed.

The leaves are still on the oak trees, just starting to change and drop.


I took this one of the snow on the last of my coral rose buds 

that were getting ready to open. 

I am still hoping they will bloom.


Nutmeg was amazed by the snow and sat in the doorway 

watching the birds fly in to feast on the feeders. 


This is the winter wonderland in the front of the house 

that my hubby took as he left to work.

He arrived safely though he said the commute was not much fun.

I am snug inside and thankful today.

This is my favorite winter herbal tea.  

TeeKanne Forest Fruits Tea Bags

It is getting difficult to find as it may have been discontinued. 

I have about a half a box left and am hoping to find more.

My daughter originally found it in a small shop that specialized in German foods.

This box was the last of her own supply and she sent it to me last year.

I may have found some on Amazon, but when I tried to buy some there last year

it never arrived and I had to get my cash back. 

If you know where I might purchase it, please let me know. 

I like to add a little orange juice, a splash of lemon juice, 

a teaspoon of honey and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

mmmmmmm!

Really warms me up on a cold wintery day.

We have three inches now outside my kitchen window.

I am staying in today.

All the lights are on to light me gray and wintery sewing corner.

I am happy and blessed.

May you and yours be safe and well today.

I Like Thursday # 71 ~ Keeping My Face to the Sun

 


Good Morning and Happy Thursday!

I am joining the fun with my friends at

I Like Thursday @ Not Afraid of Color

where once a week we choose to find and share happiness.

It is very gray and rainy and cold enough that snow is in the forecast here in my quilty corner.

It is a small piece of weather.

I always like to turn my face to sunny thoughts and and my happy place.

That is why I am posting this photo today.

This is a fabric panel.

It is from a new fabric collection,

The yardage and panels are just reaching the shops 
and the precuts are soon to follow.


I love sunflowers and the colors in this collection.

The designer, Robin Pickens, has a lovely Video Here
showing the complete collection and several patterns. 

I really enjoyed all the sunny fabrics and quilts and would like to make them all.

I shopped the internet and found the yardage and panels at a good price at



I am not affiliated with this shop.
I have purchased from them before and have been pleased with their service.
You will find this fabric arriving in many shops which feature Moda Fabrics.

 I will be posting photos of my new fabric soon after it arrives! 


I do already have this gorgeous calendar by the same designer. 
I saw this 2021 calendar online at Amazon and snapped it up.


The artwork is bright and beautiful.
This is a favorite quote of mine.


Here is the back of the calendar showing the monthly pages for 2021.
I a looking forward to hanging this calendar to brighten my sewing corner 
even on cloudy days. 


There is also a daily desk calendar and I have two of these on order,
one for me and one for a gift.


 I have been happily working on small quilt with this pretty fabric 
which I posted last Thursday.


It is a fun and easy pattern.


Here is one of the blocks.
More photos soon.


Since I often make sourdough bread on Thursdays
so we have fresh bread for the weekend,
I also have  bread dough from my sourdough starter 
on the dough hook 
in my bright orange kitchenaid mixer. 


Now that the weather has turned cooler,
Nutmeg and I have been snuggling under the quilts a lot.
Nutmeg likes to "tent" under the top quilt and cuddle.

May you and yours have a happy and quilty Thursday.
Be well and Be Safe.

I Like Thursday # 70 ~ Happy Fabric

Good Morning and Happy Thursday! 

Since it is Thursday, I will be stopping by my friends for


I Like Thursday @ Not Afraid of Color

where once a week we choose to find and share happiness.

I am sharing this lovely fabric find this week.

I love the golden yellow, pinks and navy in this fabric. 

I have only acquired a charm pack of this lovely fabric,

Golden Aster @ Riley Blake Designs

 


The fabric designer is

Gabrielle Neil ~ Surface Design 

I have recently discovered I am a big fan of her designs.

I am thinking to use a pink grunge fabric for background

and hope to be sewing soon.

I have not had much time to sew and post again this week.

Life has been happening in the Scrapatch and I have been focused elsewhere.

I am hoping this week I will be settling back into my happy place,

and sewing and sharing.

All is well here.

I hope all is well with you and yours.


Thank you for stopping by today.

:)
