Caution, controversial weather ahead.
Fair warning, the photo you are about to see is likely to produce a strong reaction. The controversial topic of which I speak is…snow. I’m not exactly sure why, but where I live, this topic is a love/hate one!
It’s sure to be a hot topic soon!

Now, I’ll give you my take on it. It’s not a controversial topic at all. I think snow is magical and lovely. When you look up into the falling snow, it’s as though the sky is alive. I can’t help myself from twirling in it, watching it floating down from heaven.
Where I live, snow isn’t a given. Oftentimes, we get ice or sleet while every county around use gets the snow. That said, the weather forecasters must make a huge to-do about incoming snow at LEAST three times before we actually get any real amounts!
Note, that it doesn’t count as real snow unless the ground is completely covered. It is BEST for Photographing Quilts! (<See my Pinterest board.)
Therefore, shout it out with a “Let it snow” sign! Super fast and easy, this is made using a Brother Scan N Cut on a pre-made plaque from Michael’s . The shadow your see in the bottom corner is the top of my Singer treadle. The treadle faces out north window. When it snows, I sit at the treadle and piece together a scrappy tumbler quilt. Therefore, this might take a decade or more to complete at this rate!
There’s another window I’d like to share with you:
This is a McKenna Ryan design/kit I just had to have to commemorate the black bear visit we had in our yard last summer. Click on “It’s a Bear Out There” to see the scratches and markings we found (and bear paw quilt blocks). McKenna’s bear was lighter in color, so I darkened him with a piece of Stonehenge fabric so he’d look more like our buddy. He sported a santa hat by design which I changed out to my favorite color and edged it with the ribbed edge of a wool sweater I inherited in my late mother-in-law’s fabric stash. I call it Black Bear Jam because we believe he was marking the area next to our crabapple tree. Consequently, I made my bear-enthusiast neighbors a jar of Black Bear Jam for Christmas out of those crabapples.
Sew… BEAR with me (too many puns?): Let It SNOW!
