Sashing never hurts, so you have options.<br />As to snow storm memories. I was in nurses training in Baltimore in the 50s when there was a big one. Movement in the city stopped. Nurses were camping in the student dorm and working a shift, sleeping a shift. Nurses at home couldn't get in. Student nurses were working as much as they could (allowed to work 10 hours a week for $1.00/hour).Clairehttps://knitnkwilt.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757169784448574694.post-27330401931459721512020-01-14T16:36:21.533-07:002020-01-14T16:36:21.533-07:00They are very interesting blocks filled with memor...They are very interesting blocks filled with memories...Cheryllhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17394751719819372772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757169784448574694.post-69594071744828761252020-01-13T09:50:43.860-07:002020-01-13T09:50:43.860-07:00What fun memories - and holee cow was that a LOT o...What fun memories - and holee cow was that a LOT of snow!Alycia~Quiltygirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16283575876006453806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757169784448574694.post-7498476812878259472020-01-12T18:33:41.956-07:002020-01-12T18:33:41.956-07:00Cute tree block!Cute tree block!Donnanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757169784448574694.post-86716071670412472862020-01-11T23:05:48.568-07:002020-01-11T23:05:48.568-07:00Really fun blocks.Really fun blocks.BillieBee (billiemick)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12962933031675452865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757169784448574694.post-66779957839488828762020-01-11T09:15:20.543-07:002020-01-11T09:15:20.543-07:00Wow - look at all that snow!! Unfortunately, most ...Wow - look at all that snow!! Unfortunately, most of our "winter storms" in Alabama are severe thunderstorms and tornadoes! Which is what we are expecting today. However, we do occasionally get snow. The deepest I recall was in March of 1993 when we had 18 inches at the house we lived in at that time. Our daughter was 10 and she and my hubby walked to my folks house and back (after they warmed up!) which was just a few houses down. We moved in 1995 to our current home and have had a few snow storms and several ice storms since. In January of '14 it started snowing and was not supposed to be bad, but by the time my hubby left work, it took him over 4 hours to get the 11 miles home. And my daughter, who is a speech therapist for our local school system, had to get to day care to pick up the kids and it took her almost six hours to go the few miles from school to day care to home! If we have snow everything pretty much shuts down because most people don't know how to drive in it!! I love it, but just stay inside as I can't risk falling and breaking my old bones, since an ambulance could never get up our hill in the snow/ice!! Better safe than sorry, I say!!Brenda @ Songbird Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13027888656685553135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757169784448574694.post-62614530363758824792020-01-11T05:56:13.353-07:002020-01-11T05:56:13.353-07:00Hi Melva!

That that picture of the girls jumping in the snow - that has to make you smile. We had snow from the system - I thought 21" was a LOT but FIVE FEET just boggles the mind. I was on the roof, too, and our furnace shut off so I was out trying to recall where the heck in intake vent was. Of course, I guessed wrong three times, and I had to lay across the big drifts to even try to reach them. I was and still am to have a nice, warm, safe house to stay in to weather the storms. We're supposed to have a BIG storm today - all the hype makes everyone nervous and scared. It makes me giddy - I like a big storm. I am happily staying inside this whole weekend! Melva, you are such a great storyteller! I love reading your posts. On, and one last thing - I have a book of questions that my sister asked my mom on a cassette tape. I have converted the tape to a digital version so I always have my mom's voice talking about her past. Some days it is comforting and other days it makes me cry with missing her, but either way I am happy to have it. Just like those notes and letters. ~smile~ RoseanneHome Sewn By Ushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13943739387560629258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757169784448574694.post-23347690793750737162020-01-10T21:34:09.610-07:002020-01-10T21:34:09.610-07:00It looks just beautiful!!

You were correct in your comment and the snowmen and my hexi mini are great examples of how we view our own work. Thank you for linking up to Put your foot down.

In fact, snow is rare so it is a treat for us.If we get any, it is usually only a sprinkling. One year though, we had a blizzard, and there was about 13 inches of snow. WOW! It was sooo pretty. My husband and I got in his 4 wheel drive and went out "playing" in the snow. It was so much fun!<br />Your quilt is looking very beautiful. Whatever you choose will be great.Joyce Carterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13231762679528853851noreply@blogger.com
