Thursday Work Progress

Last week I put in an order for some wood to start a new scroll saw project, but due to the major snow storm we had last weekend, the delivery of that has been delayed until tomorrow so I decided to press ahead with a quilt I started last year:

Heather and I took a class to make this one. It’s called, “labyrinth Walk”. Heather finished hers and I’ve been avoiding mine. It’s a bit complicated, but I’m just over half way done and hope to finish it in a few days. I’m not going to quilt this one myself, instead I’m going to send it out to a long arm quilter. This thing is 84×84 inches and too big for my current sewing machines. It will look great when it’s done, but it is more complicated than I thought it would be.

I’m hoping to send this one out about the same time my walnut wood arrives for a scroll saw box I want to start working on. I do have one other project on the scroll saw right now, but it’s still a bit too cold to work out there or even to walk through the snow to get a picture.

That’s about it for this week – if you need me, I’ll be out looking for the UPS truck.

    “The Guilty Quilter”, ha. The labyrinth pattern qualifies as advanced quilting, so good on you for giving it a try. It’ll look great when it’s done. As for your delivery delay, I’m assuming you were on the outskirts (or maybe in-skirts?) of that recent storm in the Sierra Nevadas. Even in our many years heading up to Tahoe City I don’t remember snow totals like that. Nice to know the lake and the Truckee should be filled to their brim/banks as a result.

    • This storm dumped nearly half a normal year’s worth of snow up there. I live on the east side of the Reno basin, which is the drier side of town so we only got a foot of snow, but since they don’t plow our roads on this side, it was a couple of days before we went anywhere. So far it looks like a good water year for us.
