Week of Hearts --- Hearts in the Snow

Some people make snow angels..... I make hearts.

I used an old spray bottle, some water, and red food coloring. 
How much? 
Water: about a cup
Red food coloring: a little squirt bottle - the whole bottle. I don't need it for cooking and I am sure it was really old food coloring. Probably from years ago.

I figured it was safe for the snow and the grass, if we can eat it. There is at least a foot of snow between the heart and the snow.

Up close... It was snowing as I was spraying.

I am just a kid at heart!

Enjoy!

First Snow, Posting Again, and a Binding to Share

This summer and fall has kept me soooo busy!  I have been quilting and gardening and enjoying time with family and friends.  I have taken so many photos of my quilting that I will have unlimited posts!  It is time to get back to posting on my blog. I created a new pattern this summer - Summer Tomatoes. I am working on two more quilt pattern ideas.

But this morning, I am enjoying a cup of coffee and our first snow in Wisconsin. We did have a few flurries on Sunday, but not like this.

Note the temperatures outside and inside!  It is cold!

I haven't dug out my boots yet!

I took the dogs out in my sandals. I walked on the path, but still got snow in between my toes!  I will get out my boots.

My plants are covered with snow and all stacked up and put away for the winter.

A little parsley still trying to grow.

I am going to stay inside and boil some eggs and quilt up a winter storm in the house!

I have so many quilts to share -- where will I start?

Today --- just the finished binding on my stitch and slice table runner.

I tried a different embroidery stitch for the binding. It is not my favorite but I like it for this quilt.

Update: The Slice and Stitch Quilt Block Tutorial is now available at Craftsy.com as a PDF Downloadable Pattern for Only $1.00.  Click Here.

Remember to take time to play, to enjoy a cup of coffee and the first snow of the year!
