brrr... and taking stock of LUCY

Although the calendar
doesn't yet say it's Winter,
the weather outside says differently!
 
With the snow falling, I decided to take stock of my Lucy blocks:
Though the cable and internet was
almost non-existent this past week,
I sure am thankful that the electric has been on
the entire time!
Along with the abnormally below-freezing temps,
there has been plenty of accumulation of the white stuff.
Here's a picture of this week's snowfall:
So, with no internet or cable
to distract me this week,
I pulled out ALL of my
finished Lucy Boston
Patchwork of the Crosses blocks.
Key word there is FINISHED.
 
Guess what I found?
 
This entire stack of blocks...
THAT. HAVE. NO. BORDERS!!!
That doesn't look like many blocks without muslin borders, does it?
 
Oh, I knew that I had a 'few' blocks without
their borders.
I just didn't know that the number
of incomplete blocks was
twenty!!!
Here they are,
all spread out:
All spread out it looks like I still have a WHOLE bunch of bordering to do, doesn't it?

Though they sure are pretty, if I do say so myself,
they would be prettier if they all had their borders. :)

I hope your 'Winter' weather is good,
that your heat is on if you need it,
and your needle is flying.
After I throw some more wood into the stove,
that's where I'm heading -
to make my needle fly!

  1. That stack of blocks doesn't look like there are 20 blocks. But have fun staying in and sitching! We had ice last week and I got to stay in and stitch too. t in tx

  2. Then you know what to sew in the Christmas days :) A very strange winter here by me. It should have been freezing cold but now it is + 2 C and just a little snow. Hope the little snow we have do not disappear, because I do not want a green Christmas

  4. They are beautiful. At the end of the day yesterday, we ended up with less snow on the ground than when we started the day. Really dodged a bullet getting rain instead of snow. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
