Day 17,631...and NTT

Hey there, my friends.  It's currently day 17,631 of this ice storm.  Not really, but it sure feels like it, and for those of you who have seen the movie Groundhog Day, I guess it's fitting for this week.  As I write this, we're on day 12, and my neighborhood streets are still icy, which means the schools are still out, no mail or package deliveries, and things are still not back to normal.  And of course, since I haven't gotten to the quilt shop, it means that I haven't sewn anything new.

I know some of you northern folks are thinking that 4.5 inches of sleet is no big deal, but I'm in a southern city that doesn't plow roads (not that you can really plow ice anyway) with drivers who don't have chains or snow tires, so the best we can do is just wait for it to melt.  And usually, within a few days, it does.  But not this time.  This storm has brought temperatures barely above freezing every day, and then bone-chilling refreezing each night, making the roads into a lovely place for sledding, figure skating, or hockey, but terrible for driving.  We are all so over it.  Please understand, I know that SO many others have had it worse in this storm, and I am grateful for how well we've fared overall, but I sure do wish it would all just go away.

In the past two days, we have finally gotten some significant melting, and all I can say is, bring on spring!  

So, in lieu of sewing something myself, I'm living vicariously through your awesomely creative link-ups, like this fun string quilt from Deb at A Scrappy Quilter-

And this fun quilt from Maggie at Making a Lather-

Sally at Crafts, Cavies, and Cooking showed off this tiny beauty, which is only six inches square!

I love the movement in this quilt from Nancy at Grace and Peace Quilting-

And finally, look at this amazing quilt from Yvonne at Quilting Jetgirl!

Okay, y'all!  Let's get our party going!

1. You can link finished projects or WIP's , but just keep it about quilting and sewing!

2. Link to your specific post (not to your home page!) to make it easier for others.

3. Please remember to spread the word and post my button or a text link within your 

    post.  

4. Spread the comment love far and wide!

5. Following me is not a requirement to link, but is so very appreciated!

*If you're new to the party, here's a helpful tip for linking up- select "Auto Crop"  when selecting your thumbnail photo.  For some reason, trying to crop your own image results in the dreaded "white question mark box," and we definitely want to see your awesome work!  :)
