Playing around with a new block! Last night I really didn't want to work on my string blocks so I pieced a scrappy Pineapple block. Basically I just wanted to see if this might be a future project.
This is a 10" block. I was pleased with how it turned out and I am thinking that it may be a future project. :)
I used the large Pineapple Trim Tool by Creative Grids. I love how easy this block was made by using this.
Back before Christmas I tried the trim tool out by making this table runner.
I want to make a blue and white pineapple quilt but I think first that I will probably end up piecing a scrappy one because that's what I have on hand.
I had not posted for a few days because we were Busy getting things ready here on the farm for the latest winter storm. Busy getting the animals ready, firewood in, making sure the animal water sources have heaters in them to keep them thawed....you know just busy farm stuff. Also making sure all of the laundry and dishes are done in case the power goes out. LOL! We got a ton of rain yesterday to the point that it was just standing in my yard. Overnight that froze solid and then we got more ice and a little snow over that. I hate ICE. :( Not much snow at all at this point but with the ice underneath it's just slick. Richard is on his way to work as we speak and Andrew ended up staying at the office last night.
Today will be spent doing my normal housewife stuff and hopefully I can get some sewing in later in the day, but as of right now I plan on taking a little nap after I hear from Richard. I want to make sure he makes it safely to work. It's 6am on a Saturday so I think I am allowed to go back to bed for a bit....right? :)
Oh before I leave...yesterday morning mom, Chantal, my brother John and I met in town to have breakfast together. While having our breakfast the local bank was robbed about 1/2 a mile away. The schools were on lockdown while they were on the lookout for him. They caught his shortly afterwards. He was a 61 yr old man that I did not know. Richard's niece works at the bank. She was pretty shook up but they did end up sending all of the employees home for the rest of the day.
