Mr. Snow is on the Go!

I have a frosty fella on my mind and his name is Mr. Snow.

Welcome, dear friends.

Last year I began working on the sashings on my Mr. Snow quilt, but at some point I set it aside and Mr. Snow became a UFO. ❆❅☃ Bless his chilly heart. 💙💙

Well, my Mr. Snow blocks jumped in the camper with full intentions of me working on them further as I enjoyed the warmer weather .

Eeeeh it was in the 80's yesterday! How nice!

In the past, I had been adding sashing to 2 Mr. Snow blocks a week. That way I could slowly enjoy the project, and it not interfere with other things going on .

Anywhooo, Mr. Snow insisted that I work on 2 more blocks this week.

So Block 7 Snow Cream and Block 8 Decorating the Tree all received scrappy red borders to Mr. Snow's delight.

Mr. Snow was a QAL that I shared in 2023-2024.

8 blocks complete. Four more to sash!

In the February 27, 2025 post, entitled Piecing Snowmen I gave a tutorial with measurements on how I am completing each block.

Mr. Pinker and I will be hitching our wagon and chugging on to the next campsite today.

Oh boy, is our little truck camper is a mess when we travel . I have to put my stash of fabrics, threads and sewing machine on the beds so they are not strewn about as we travel the bumpy roads.

Bye Bye sweet campsite. I may see you again here soon.

It took an hour to drive to the campsite that we were at . The roads were washboard so we took it slow and easy. But it was worth the drive. It is one of our favorite spots. Fingers crossed we will be able to get our next favorite spot at our new destination.

As Always...

Happy Quilting and Stitching, y'all!

Tumbleweeds, Windmills and Camp

For some reason, my eyes were heavy as Mr. Pinker and I puttered down the road. I had hoped to work on cross stitching, but alas I could not keep my eyes open. Goodness, was I a sleepy head. 😴💤

Mary Elizabeth Coat's Winter Saltbox in the works.

Good Sunday morning , Sweet Friends. Welcome.

Mr. Pinker and I have made it to camp.

Though I see the windmills every time that I travel through Oklahoma and Texas, I still marvel at them. Wow ! They are massive! We do not have windmills where we live.

Seeing the windmills near the Donley County line in Texas made me regret that I did not bring my Peppermint Pinwheels quilt that I pieced last month. It would have been a lovely quilt to work on while camping.

But I did bring my Tumbleweeds quilt which will be my focus quilt for 2026.

The first block is quilted. Eeeeh!

The center block looks like a windmill.

I am freehand quilting wavy lines in the 1 1/2" sashings.

Today I will work on Block 2 in Tumbleweeds and if I am lucky -well maybe I will be able to keep my eyes open to do some cross stitching. Hee! Hee!

Mr. Pinker and I are camping off grid so our power and internet access is limited. Please forgive me for not being able to visit properly. Your sweet visits and compliments are bringing warm smiles to each and every day. Thank you from the bottom of my pea pickin' heart. I will be back to normal visits in the near future. Thank you for understanding.

Alrighty, I best get off here. We have a desert wash to explore and then I will settle into my afternoon stitching time.

Have a Wonderful Winter's Day!

As Always...

Happy Stitching and Quilting,

y'all
