I don’t know about where you are, but it’s been down right bone chilling here. I mean it’s January, and this is Canada, so it’s not like it’s a surprise. But I don’t have to like it. Especially when the furnace decides to shut off on its own in the middle of the night, and you wake up to a house that’s barely above freezing. (We got the problem sorted, but boy, that was not a nice morning!)
To take my mind off the cold, I’ve been binge watching Gardeners World on Amazon Prime Video, and I’ve been sewing flowers.
An afternoon saw me complete the eight dizzy daisies needed for my gnome quilt. It’s hard to worry about winter when you’re surrounded by flowers!!!
Now these are tucked away with the star blocks I made earlier
The next step is to build the border around the panel. It involves some quilt math, so I’m saving it for a day when I have nothing else going on so I can really focus and do it right!

What cute fabric! That will be a fun quilt. We had snow last night…which changed to rain…and now I think (looking at the radar map) it’s going to change back to snow soon. Yuck!

Ugh, math!
Ask Lord Burton to do the math; you know that he knows, but isn’t telling.

Fantastic job on the stitching! The math will wait! Glad you sorted out the furnace problem–not good to freeze on the inside!

I could use some daisies right now. I know how much I hate the summer months here but this winter has been just awful. Come on spring….I’m ready.

The little gnome is so cute!
Cold here too, but probably not as cold as you are. Thank goodness the heat came back on.

Pretty daisy blocks! It’s cold here, too. My amaryllis is blooming and bringing memories of warmer days.

That is the sweetest fabric with those tiny insects. Perfect with Mr. Gnome! Lord BB looks like he approves too.
I’m sorry about the furnace. What a rude awakening! I’m sure glad you got it fixed quickly.
Blessings,
Betsy

Nice daisies! It’s not that cold here (mid-30s, fahrenheit), but damp, and the sun doesn’t come out. I hate gloomy days.
