About an hour before that we lost a tree in our backyard. This tree didn't do any property damage other than to take out two burning bushes and a hydrangea bush.
Our lights flickered some but thankfully did not lose power. Today we have had showers and a little bit of wind. Maybe some thunderstorms later. School has been cancelled for the last two days. Many trees are down, some roads closed and thousands without power.
I chose to make Hubble as my Schnibble of the month. I took quite awhile deciding on my fabric. I decided to use Double Chocolat. I love the bold colors. I chose to make a larger version. Mine finished at 74 inches by 74 inches. Unfortunately my pictures did not come out the best. Lights are starting to flicker again so I want to post this in case we do lose power. I really love the colors and hope to get it professorially quilted one of these days. The weather is to wet and yucky to take a picture outside. My house is not big enough to lay it out to get a good picture. The lighting is kind of dark to thanks to Sandy. You can't tell from the picture but there is a narrow border of the charm fabrics of Double Chocolat and then a 4 inch border of the background fabric.
