Last week the temperatures were in the balmy mid 40's. All the snow from the previous storm had melted and it felt like Spring. No more.
Here's what it looks like from an upstairs window. Howling winds and blowing snow...not a good day to venture outdoors.
What better to do on a cold and blustery morning? Why make some soup of course!
I made a "slightly-amended" version of a Weight Watchers tomato beef soup. I hate to sound like I'm bragging...*wink*...but boy-oh-boy is it ever good! You know what we had for lunch.
And while the soup was simmering on the stove, I made this 12 1/2" "Disappearing Pinwheel" churn dash block for our guild's charity quilt. That's another
I bet you thought that I had forgotten to announce the winner of my giveaway, huh?
No way, because I'm as excited about it as you are!
Sew without further ado, the winner is...
Sunny of Quilting Dreams
Congratulations, Sunny!
I hope that you will enjoy making my Snow Days quilt as much as I did!
Please email me with your snail mail address and I'll get everything out to you as soon as I can.
And, in addition to the "gathering" of fabrics that were so generously donated by Darlene at A Needle Pulling Thread Quilt Shop, I'm going to add all the fabric from my personal stash that I have leftover after making the quilt.
For those of you who want to make one as well, my Snow Days pattern is written up and ready to go and is now available for purchase in my Etsy Shop which you can link to HERE.
Thank you all for your kind words and your continued support. I wish you all could have been winners...but having said that...you are all winners in my book!
Happy stitching!

Congratulations to Sunny! It couldn't have gone to a nicer person ;>) Love that snow, but I'm with you staying inside and sipping soup, Kaaren!
Cheers!
It's pretty cool here but not nearly so cold as how it looks in your picture. I wouldn't want to go out either. I found it amusing that "Sunny" won when your photo is so cold looking. Sunny will enjoy the pattern set. It is a wonderful design.
congrats Sunny!
the soup looks wonderful!
love the block!
Congratulations to Sunny! Your soup looks scrumptious and just what we need for our harsh winter weather. We're having another winter storm with blowing and drifting snow and actual temps of -15F tonight.
