SNOW DAY today! School got cancelled, so I didn't have to go in to teach in Westford, then my afternoon beginner sew class didn't want to drive in this mess - so that cancelled, and my evening 5-10pm open sew is now cancelled. So I played around in Quiltster to make this "Snowflake" version of Evergreen Fern! Such fun! I'm teaching this class via Zoom (the studio seats are already full) on February 22nd. There is still time to sign up and get your pattern prepared for class. Want to join us? I promise you a great Saturday! CLICK ON THE LINK IN THE COMMENTS TO SIGN UP. :)

I LOVE my little Featherweight machines! I keep one in my kitchen for snowy weekend days like today when I don't have any classes scheduled, but I'd still like to sew. Gives me a break from the studio and feels like a vacation! LOL🤣😂🤣
