Things To Do

The snow is falling. The wind is blowing. I'm glad I don't have to go out in the storm. My sister ventured out a little while ago for a visit to our home. She left when she saw that the snow started to stick to the grass and the pavement. I wasn't expecting snow this day. Now I'm wondering how much we'll end up with. It doesn't really matter except that I'll have to clean off the cars or worse yet, dig the cars out if the snow is deep. We're warm and cozy and have plenty to occupy ourselves with so we shall not be bored.
I knitted 2 more rows today and will get back to it after supper. Meanwhile I'm perusing my baby quilt books looking for a quilt to make. When I find a pattern I like, I'll take a trip to the quilt shop and decide on fabrics. I want to make a unisex quilt which could be for a boy or a girl since I don't know yet which sex the baby will be. I am scheduled to go to the quilt shop this week. Hopefully, I can make my choices of fabric then. After that the process starts. Washing and ironing the fabric is first, followed by the cutting of the fabric. The fun part starts next when I'll begin to sew the pieces together and the quilt top gets done. Next is putting the 3 layers together, the Quilt top, the batting and the backing. When that's done the quilting begins. The binding and the label will finish off the quilt. Hopefully, it will look like a work of art. A lot of love will have gone into the whole process of completing the quilt. Then comes the best part, giving it away to the expectant parents. They, hopefully, will cherish it as much as I do.
