Time to Think....

My tractor needs some repair in Estevan,Sk which by car is 1/2 hour drive...
 
by tractor... a 2 1/2 hour drive...
 
LOTS of time to think at 18 miles an hour!!

 
With this polar vortex of -30C for a high
 
 all you can do is cross your fingers that it doesn't gel up on the way home!!
 
I used to live at this corner when there was a house and some trees still...
 
Nothing left but some granaries!!!

 
It was so cold that I left a trail of my own clouds!!!
 


 
Yesterday was finally sunny and warm so I decided to tackle some Christmas gifts...
 
Un-Boxing Day!!
 
100 pieces and 2 hours......
 

 
And Voila!!
 
A work bench and Cabinet!!

 
Then it was back to what I really wanted to work on...
 
The Hoffman Challenge fabric...
 
I decided to make a purse using my 60 degree angles for flaps...

 
 to make 3 layers....

 
This is my inside panels....
 
 
My front panel quilted....
 

and the back....


Beads for a handle....

 
Not sure what soiree would warrant such a purse...
 
CERTAINLY nothing in my day-to-day(or night) life!!

 
 I managed to sneak in....

 
the selvage edge!!


 
It's not a winner by far
 
 but
 
it was fun to be creative in a different way!!

 
Now back to regularly scheduled quilting...
