The past week was a crazy, busy one. There was no slowing down time until nightfall, so stitching was at a minimum. I was hoping for the new week to start off slower and pan out to be less demanding of my time. There hasn’t been a lot of time demanding going on, but a slow beginning was far from what happened.
Sunday started out like most any Sunday. I got up and got ready for church. It was a rainy morning, and severe weather was predicted in the afternoon. Some time between 5:00 PM and 6:30 PM a tornado twisted its way through our city. Thankfully it skipped to the north as it passed over I59 and did not affect our home. Still, my dogs and I sought shelter in a closet waiting for the beast to pass.
Many were not so fortunate and suffered great property destruction. There were some injuries requiring medical attention, but there were no deaths. Early warning is attributed to that good fortune…I personally thank God and give Him the glory for bringing us through a frightening time safely.
Last week I finished February’s work on the round robins in my possession. I’m working on my CQJP for this month.
Here are a few pictures…
This is from the “ALL THINGS PRETTY” round robin through World Wide Crazy Quilting. The little sweetie in the center of the block is Lee’s great-granddaughter.
This block is from the Blue/Green Color Study aka TAT (turquoise and Teal) hosted by Crazy Quilting for Newbies. It belongs to Angie who welcomes spider webs and spiders on her block.
This is the block I made for the Blue/Green Study:
Finally, here is a picture of my February CQJP before any work has been done on it. My theme for the year is monochromatic…I’m not using silk ribbon or anything else that may be damaged when washed because I plan to make a lap quilt when all twelve blocks are completed.
That about does it for this time…
Until next time…
Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. John 15:2
That purple block is a beauty! I can’t wait to see what you do with it. I am praising God that you are safe, and that no lives were lost.
I am so thankful your home was spared! Glory to God! May God help those that did suffer.
I signed up for the CQBM and have yet to start one – all good intentions…..sigh!! Love yours and the one with the photo is precious!!!
I was thinking of you and yours all through that horrific bad weather, good to get your email. Take care. Love from your friend in Virginia, Lennie
So glad you are safe. We had a tornado near pass years ago when we lived in Colorado. It is scary.
Your blocks are beautiful like always.
Thank you, Brenda. I am, too.
There are a lot of people who were not so fortunate. Many others are stepping up and helping them. There is a staggering amount to be done.
So glad you stopped by.

Hey Pat, It’s not too late to get started with your CQJP. Yes, the “All Things Pretty” block is sweet…more the block than what I’ve done with it. You can’t miss “precious” with great granddaughters. What? You don’t love spiders?
Thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment. I appreciate you. Judy in MS

Hey Lennie, A little bird just told me you were recovering from surgery. I hope you have a speedy and complete recovery. It was a blessing finding your comment. It’s always good to see you! The weather was terrible and extremely frightening, but praise God, He brought us through it unscathed and feeling very thankful. Thank you for stopping by. It’s always a pleasure.
Love back to you, Judy in MS
