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.
Wow -that's a big Schnibble! Love the fabric you used. Glad you didn't suffer any more serious damage. Clean up is never fun.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely Schnibble. Great pattern!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the aftermath of the storm. Hope you and your family (all over) is safe and did not suffer too serious damage.
Your Hubble is great! Love your fabrics! It's great that you didn't loose power, but too bad about the trees. With our Florida hurricane experience I've learned that power makes all the difference during and after a storm.
