Sunday Funday Sewing and oh, a Tornado !


The first project I worked on today was the machine sewn binding on the quilt I’m making for my great-nephew. Then I pulled out a WIP I started last February. I joined Shelley Cavanna’s Barn Star Sampler quilt along, and should have been assembling my quilt top this month, but I fell behind in December. Today, I cut out all the pieces for my next block. Just as I finished cutting the pieces, we had an unexpected thunderstorm that brought hail, and a tornado that caused some damage on the south side of town. Not fun considering my town was hit by a bad tornado last June, killing three people, injuring many more and leaving many homeless. Businesses were also lost. Anyway, we are fine. And, now it’s supposed to snow tomorrow!

Is anyone else reading doing the Barn Star Sampler?

After everything calmed down, I finished the hand stitched binding on my friend’s commissioned quilt.

Thankful not to have lost anyone or our home today in this tornado. Counting my blessing as I go to sleep.
