| Clue 7 blocks |
Our area is experiencing a cold spell. . . the low yesterday was 12 degrees and the high was 21 degrees. . .we received about three inches of snow. Yes, there was some sleet and some freezing rain too. We've had wind gusts of 40mph.
Trees are down. Many people are without power. Roads are ice covered. Staying home is the safest. I'm glad we are stocked and don't need to go anywhere. Thank goodness we haven't lost power.
Brrrrrr. . .it is COLD!!!!!! We don't experience cold temperatures often. Keeping the house warm with the wood stove has been a challenge. The kitchen and living room are great; but, the studio is too cool to sit and stitch.
I had planned to spend yesterday making great progress on clue 8 which is the final clue of the mystery. Friday, I finished making the "A" blocks for clue 7 Friday.
The first "B" block that I made in clue 8 took time. I had heard that these blocks were easier to stitch because there were fewer points to match. It feels it takes at least as long to make these blocks as it did the "A" blocks!

I'm linking to Cynthia at Oh Scrap Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework. I hope she is weathering this storm okay.

I like the very dark blues that you're using in your blocks, Terry! It seems like the design that Bonnie intended shows up better if there's some contrast. Hope you're staying warm and safe. I think the whole country is experiencing some form of this frigid cold!
You've accomplished a lot on your Indigo Way quilt. Our house is warm but the basement studio is a bit chilly. I pulled on some long underwear and it's perfect for the basement. Happy stitching!
This is going to be one beautiful quilt!
Here in Massachusetts our temps are running below 20s at night and during the day high 20s/low30s which is pretty normal for January. What is not normal is the lack of snow. We did have a couple of inches the other day while folks just an hour away received fifteen+ inches! I’m glad I was on the very low end of things.
Keep warm ;-).
Your BH mystery is looking fabulous, Terry!!! How's the ice? I hope it's under control now and everyone has their power back. That happened to us 10 years ago and we had to use our fireplace for heat and cooking for 6 days! I know what it's like!!!
