the dispatch of a nine patch...

We've just had our first 'big blow' of the season!


Three inches of snow was just the right amount for a beautiful blanket on the fields, and the bright sun made it extra pretty!





Lots of mysterious animal tracks...



...and the not-so-mysterious.  Here's Leonidas, coming in from the fields for his morning treat.



I love seeing the birds...




...and the horses.




The skies have been gorgeous!



It was the perfect time to finish a quilt, and I did...although the top was completed when we still lived in South Carolina.  It's a very simple nine patch called HOPSCOTCH with a slightly updated version of 1930s fabric.



It's quilted with a simple diagonal.


This is the best job I've ever done with finishing a quilt, and it's all thanks to my new sewing machine.  It's so much easier to work in 11 inches of space, rather than 5.  My shoulders are very grateful!

The cats have been staying warm, too, in their very own beds...


...or anywhere else where they can snuggle in.


Total opportunists.  :)  

Have a great week!
