Good morning everyone.
Well, today is going to be a busy day here in the weather department. Starting out ok this morning and part of the afternoon. Then sometime later today we are to get snow and rain. What you get depends on where you live. I am almost finished quilting the dog quilt for my brother’s girlfriend. She has run a rescue and then started a food bank of dog food for people in their area when they fall on hard times. Then I have planned to quilt the Legacy quilt called Spring Jubilee from 2018. At least I am getting practice on machine quilting on my Pfaff machine. This staying home is getting things done in my sewing room. Well, I am off to get another cup of coffee. Hope everyone has a wonderful day.

Good morning from dripping California. Between the wind and the rain, no sleep. It's supposed to calm some around 3am. DBIL sent me pics of his place 26 or so miles outside of North Las Vegas. He has 6 - 8 inches of snow. Power out. While he has propane heat, something on it is electrical so he said it's really cold. He has 3 quilts there so I told him to get under them all.

I have my Dresden plate class today. That's 6 hours. Hate to load machine in the rain. I did move my PPE from my trunk to my front seat so I can put on in the car. Not the easiest thing to do but I have done in the past. Also brought my nursing bag in the house so equipment stays warm.

Not much else right now. Woll go lay back down and see if I can sleep. Praying I don't get any calls. Will check back later.

Good morning!

Very cold here. The atmospheric river over Valerie is dumping snow in Southern Utah, missing me. The red rocks and canyons down there all look so pretty with a blanket of snow on them. We got a little bit of snow, not even as much as needed to be shoveled.

Don't know what I will do today. Maybe get the floor covering ordered. Should be a quiet day here. Really can't sew, as my tools are still in boxes, waiting to be put in the new drawers.

Stay Safe!
Hugs,
Jana

Good wet and windy morning. it's going to be a soggy rest of the week.

I asked for rain and got a lot of it. And the wind is like crazy. The power blinked through the night just enough to get to reset all the clocks. Since there was a fire last year those in the burn area are asked to be ready to evacuate incase this storm uproots the burned trees and causes land slides.

I am safe. I might lose power but Jerry is going to buy us our own not borrowed from dad generator today that will power us just enough to get us by until we can figure out which whole house generator we need. We need to be sure what we get will power our well.

Suzette, she will love the doggie quilt. If we would get 7 degrees colder we would have snow. The boys next door would love it. I have been slowly getting used to quilting on my machine, it's a Jazz2 by babylock. I bought it because it had a big throat. And I have used it twice for quilting. I need practice but will get the hang of it.

Valerie, I just saw that some part of Nevada is having a blizzard warning. Your brother, like me, has a gas heater with an electric ignitor. It's the same with our stove. It's also propane with an electric ignitor, but we can use a match to light it. Hope you don't have to go out in this mess.

Lois, enjoy cutting up today.

Jana, all snow is beautiful from a distance. As much as I would like the kids to have snow I would like it to stay in their yard and not mine. You are funny, me in a bikini. It would be a great way to clear the beach.

Judi, luckily our post office has a website and it shows their local number. I agree about those 800 numbers, they drive me nuts.

Maryz, HAH! I haven't even started sorting fabric yet. I used to have it all organized by color then something happened and it's all mixed up. This rainy weather will be a perfect excuse to stay in and sort like crazy. I haven't seen your stash but I am sure that your fabric is at least 4 times what I have. I love angels, but like everything else that is collected, one day they will be the problem of my son who will likely have an estate sale trying to get rid of stuff. Your get together quilt is going to be gorgeous. will it be done in Civil War fabric? it is going to be beautiful.

Maryq, I agree about the swaps. $9 to send blocks to and another $9 to get your blocks back plus making 20 blocks is getting expensive. Maybe a sew along or a mystery would be a better idea?

Carole, In the beginning I was tracking my food and weight daily using an app called Carb Manager, it also tracks calories, fat, etc. but now I just wing it. Prayers for your kidneys and RA. Hard to believe that your daughters youngest will be 18 soon. Hoping that with social distancing he has to shelter in place until then and can't go visit.

Sherry, isn't it amazing how much stuff we collect. I would hate to have to pack it all up and move. We did get rid of a lot but have so much more to go.

Lyn, thanks for the Kathy update. so glad she can have visitors, it will be great for her to see her sister. Glad she loves her quilt. Mary had that quilt top already but quilted and bound it in less than 24 hours, and, before she could get started she had to unearth her quilting machine which had been shoved in a room behind stuff. So glad to hear Kathy in such good spirits. It must really do her good to keep hearing from her forum friends. We are an amazing group of women.

Lori, 15 years is a long time to have a sidekick. Emma will be with you always but it sure would be nice to hear her purr. I also have snow on the mountains, seeing if from my warm living room is wonderful. I also need a bigger sewing room. Next to my sewing room is a bathroom. I told Jerry we really don't need it and if the wall were knocked down I could extend my room. I really think a portable classroom would make a great sewing room. It would be big enough and has so many possibilities. Much bigger than my 8x10 bedroom.

Becca, oh my gosh, are the twins really old enough to stand and getting ready to walk? my goodness they have come a long way. Lots of smooches to both of them. Cool to see deer in the yard.

Have a better than ever day. enjoy the sound and smell of the rain.

Yesterday was in sewing room I am putting border on my quilt.
