    Default Wallhanging Takakkaw Falls ver.2

    The original ver.1, went to Australia. This one was 8 days of steady focus. (I keep telling my friends I have no life!) It is, to date, the largest piece I have attempted 24"x36". It's surprisingly tiring, but oh, so satisfying work. All that remains to be done now is the border and binding. Now I can get back to some relaxing and not quite so intense UFO Quilts. Thanks for letting me crow! Enjoy!!

    You're welcome! and it's all well deserved.
    All's well ... lost power for 24 hrs sat/Sun and then again for a bunch on the Monday before Christmas.
    Lots of trees down in my bush, but parts of all over my yard and the fringes. I am lucky, compared to some.
    Still watching as much of the ice has not melted, then the snow storm on top has been hard on the poor trees. The meltdown this weekend (IF it happens) will be good for the trees, so they can get free of the ice ... At least I am hoping that!

    How about you?

    We sailed through the ice storm. We lost power for 6 hours but we have a gas fireplace and storm. So it was just ROMANTIC.. Ed still cringes when I say lets turn out the lights.
    I'd like this January thaw to take it ALL away.
    But I won't get that wish.
    Stay warm and healthy.
