Frozen in the Scrapatch

It is Scrappy Saturday on Sunday.

Linking  up with the happy and scrappy quilters at the ...

RSC 16 @ SoScrappy

Yesterday I fussed with  This Block so much in the morning ...

that I did not start sewing my

6.5 inch Postage Stamp Blocks

until late in the day,

when the window by my machine had iced over.

It is still iced over.

It is even colder today and tonight.

The Scrapatch is feeling like an igloo.

I do not have cabin fever, though, cause I have my sewing machine to keep me busy.

My feet are like blocks of ice though because the floor in my sewing corner 

is one of the coldest spots in the house, despite being directly over the furnace,

because it has a bay wall that extends over the foundation with no insulation underneath.

When I get up and try to make my feet work, I am always saying

"Cold ... cold ... cold ... cold ..."  like Anna in Frozen.

My toes feel much better after changing into new socks I have warmed on the radiator.

Ahhhh ... that is better.

I have four February RSC Blocks done now though.

Makes me happy

... the blocks, warm socks and a chai latte,
and a dark chocolate raspberry filled heart my Valentine gave me ...

Mmmmmm ... bliss <3

A Good Day to Stay In and Sew

Saturday Sampler Block 8

This is the block I sewed this morning.

Here it is with Block 1 of the series

Started HERE

I do have most of the blocks made now.

I missed two months when I went to visit my DD and family last year.

Catching up these blocks is one of my quilty goals.

I should have taken Block 8 to a monthly meeting where I would have received the next block kit.

It was just too cold for me to venture out.

The temperature felt like single digits at noon. 

Now at midnight it is -6 degrees F outside with a windchill of - 29 degrees F

(For my friends whose temperatures are in Celsius, that is -21 degrees C  with a wind chill to -33C)

Brrrrrr!

And it is getting colder.

Good thing I got my quilts to keep me warm ... :)
