February – that came quickly. But that means one more month of winter behind us. I love that if it is a sunny day now (not gloomy and overcast) the sunrise and sunset are that much more earlier/later and I get to see a bit of daylight as I’m headed to work and when I get off the bus at night rather that darkness both ways.
Warning – spoiler alert if you are doing the ESK Yarnthon and don’t want to see the 10K yarn before you earn it but heck – since I share photos of all my knitting you’re just taking your chances since this is the last spoiler alert warning I’ll be giving.
But first for those quilters out there – if you live in the US and would like to receive a free issue of Quiltmaker Magazine which just happens to have my quilt design on the cover, just leave a comment on this blog post AND be sure to check back next weekend when I’ll announce the winner, who will need to PM me their mailing info.

If you haven’t posted comments, or few, or if WordPress is just being difficult – your comment is held in pending until I review and approve it. So just leave one comment – once I approve it, it will show up with all the others. For some reason it seems to be sending comments to pending for people I have previously approved.
I have been busy knitting, knitting, knitting – staying off my mangled toes. Hopefully I can get my boots on tomorrow since it looks like this outside my door this morning. Snowed yesterday but I like the snowy view better than the brown dead grass view that was there yesterday.
And the fingerless mitts I’m making out of the 10 K yarn – it’s knitting up pretty.
This picture is before it’s seamed. The second one only has another inch or so left for me to know.
Now to go take photos of the rest of the knit projects I’ve finished /been working on this week.

I love so many of your quilt designs and am grateful to be included in your Quiltmaker drawing. Thank you for sharing your creations.
So, toe getting better? mine is . Starting to peal the skin as it had swelled up so much. Love the color of the fingerless gloves. My colors..lol
I’d love the Quiltmaker magazine with that beautiful quilt. Thanks for sharing!
I really like your ‘cover girl’! You designers and your imaginations amaze me!
Love the quilt colors. Those hand mitts are in a color to die for. Your inspiration for others is golden.
Love your beautiful quilt and happy that it made the cover of Quiltermaker. Always enjoy seeing what you have made. Happy to be included in the drawing. Good to hear you are finally on the mend with your toes. The beautiful color you are using for the fingerless mitts is my favorite color. Thank you for sharing all that you do.
I love this quilt. It would be a great stashbuster!
Congratulations on your beautiful cover quilt. My issue of Quiltmaker arrived yesterday. It is a gorgeous quilt.
Congratulations on that cover! It says a lot about the design when it’s selected as the cover.
Your quilt is beautiful as are your knit projects.
Enjoy reading your posts, hope your toes are better soon. Snowing here, guess winter isn’t over yet.
I’ve thought about subscribing to this magazine. Love your quilt design.
I love that spinner pattern. It would be a great cheerful quilt for winter days.
Beautiful quilt, it’s great to see u on the cover.
Love that cover quilt. The colors are so bright. I’ve avoided diamonds for years but maybe now’s the time to give it a try.
Ah but you are not making or cutting a single diamond in this quilt – it’s much easier.

I just love the quilt on the cover as the batik colors really show it off nicely.
