Oklahoma has managed to set a new snowfall record this week and the meterologists went crazy. As my husband said, I think Mike Morgan is about to pee in his pants! Monday started out as a normal day but there was a huge amount of anticipation of what was on it's way. We don't normally get much snow here, we get ice. Over the weekend the weather reports were getting more and more dramatic as time went by. They knew something was coming, but didn't know exactly what it would amount to until it got closer. We don't usually give much attention to the weather forcast because it can change in an instant here. Seriously! We usually just wait until whatever storm system makes it's way here and then we go outside and have a look for ourselves. This is especially true in the spring during tornado season. Thankfully, I went to the grocery store with my sister on Friday night! We both had over-flowing baskets and people were giving us all kinds of crazy looks and you can't imagine the look on the checkers faces once we got up to the front. Well...ninny ninny boo boo....we were smart, we beat the crowd!! I have been locked up with my children for three days straight and I'm happy to say that they have not had to resort to eating snow. I have been entertaining the idea of starting a blog of all my sewing adventures and now have finally hit the point where I have enough time on my hands to do it!!!
I think I am going to name this quilt Snomageddon. I made this for a lady at church that is about to have her first granddaugher. I sure hope she likes it. She told me that her daughter really likes zebra print so I went with black and white prints and some pink, because all baby girls need pink! Here is a close-up picture of one of the blocks. I went with a loopy quilting pattern. The back is all zebra print. I can't wait to give it to her, I hope she likes it!
