snow days in august

crabapple hill snow days

I started stitching this quilt when my husband had a double knee replacement in 2014. I had it prepped and ready to go for the hospital, knowing I would have a lot of waiting time. I knew when he came home, we were going to take it easy for a few weeks, mostly hanging out with some old movies. perfect project.

Unfortunately, one of the complications during his stay at the hospital was a heart attack and a stay  in intensive care. I would have gone crazy without this project. So I am calling it the heart attack quilt or the you scared me to death quilt. He is fine now, but I wasn't as eager to revisit this project for a while. I am a little confused by the actual piecing instructions, so I will be taking that part slowly. I have some fabrics chosen, but think I will want more.

All the blocks are stitched, but after it is pieced, there is additional stitching to be done to finish off some of the scenes. So my one monthly goal for August and ufo #8 is to get the piecing done. More would be a bonus, but with the piecing done, I can finish the stitching as I can. It has been long enough now, that I am super excited to spend some time on this again.
