Friday check in: two blue ribbons and a quick start/finish

As Steffi and I were driving to the The GFWC Tenth District Art Show on Wednesday we turned onto an enchanted scene.  The ice-coated trees on both sides of the road just sparkled in the sunshine.

Art show results:  I won blue ribbons for both my entries.  Confession: blue ribbons were a  foregone conclusion since they were the ONLY entries in the two categories!  Attendance at the monthly D10 luncheons has dwindled due to Covid and participation in the art show is way, way down.  But, hey, I'll take blue ribbons when they're offered.

(I made Batiks by the Sea in  early 2020 quilted later that year   The Roses and Pearls wall hanging was the guild 2021 challenge.)

I am procrastinating big time on  the birdhouse quilt -- you know, the one that has both a destination and a deadline. 

 I pulled out the brights from the box of 2" (unfin.) HSTs, made pinwheels, and framed them.   I set them on-point with new fabric (last fall) for the squares and old fabric (from years and years ago) for the setting triangles and binding.  

Here's the back.  44 x 58.

I have another quilt under the needle now, because I'm still procrastinating . . .

Linking up with Finished or Not Friday and TGIFF

P.S.  Note to self:  take the garbage cans to the street BEFORE the overnight 5" snowfall. 

Light and fluffy now. It will melt by Sunday.
