I'll be right over and we can "stir" some cream and sugar in coffee or some tea. Great thinking! Or maybe even stir up a little trouble. (That was what Grandma said us kids did)

Great idea, Pat! We still walk in the winter...except in freezing rail or ice! I have resorted to doing laps in the house on relly bad weather...up and down stairs add steps ,too!

During December 2018, I was stir crazy even before winter set in!
Quilting through the winter
Although it’s not yet officially winter, the snow on the ground has influenced me and I have been spending much time recently on a quilting project. The focus of my work in progress is cats and the name of the pattern is Patchwork Cat with borders. When the real winter season sets in I plan on making a Dresden Plate quilt.I will be so involved in its making then perhaps I will not even notice the blowing snow and the fierce winds. As Shelly remarked in one of his beautiful poems... “If winter comes, can spring be far behind?” And so this is my plan for getting through the cold, dreaded season.
note: I only have completed one Dresden Plate Quilt Block( maybe next winter?

Beginning with piecing each cardinal block, the making of this quilt has been a long, time consuming process;however it is a fun and challenging time consuming activity!
Wow, like architecture - and interesting ✨✨✨✨✨

Another quilting project and this one is complete. Actually it was finished during those late fall days in November while anticipating the actual beginning of winter!This quilt was to celebrate the publishing of a sweet picture storybook written by my daughter!” The little ghost who was a quilt” and ,inspired many quilters to make a little ghost quilt, including me.
I wouldn't even attempt quilting, but I read about four hours a day

Another stir crazy activity for me is the challenge of capturing the birds that come to our feeders. I'm still working on Birds In Flight and yesterday these 2 were the stars. Rarely are they close enough to each other to get both well focused.
I too spend a lot of time looking for birds to snap
