In the Eye of Irene

Well, I better get a quick post in now because the eye of Irene is scheduled to pass over us later tonight and who knows about our power. I have to finish getting my binding on my hydrangea quilt so that I can work on that if I can't use the sewing machine! I also am making sure I have some embroidery to do also! I can continue working on my Butterfuly blocks too!
I probably won't be working on my Halloween, unless I get a few more things done before any power outage--it will be so nice NOT to have a power outage! I could sit home tomorrow and sew--we are ready to be inside!
Well, as I said, just a quick note--off to get lots of things done so I can work without power if necessary...

My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone in the path or surroundings of Hurricane Irene!! May everyone be safe and simply have more time to quilt!

Happy quilting!

  2. I hope that Irene passes you by and that you can have the creative weekend you hope for without the power outage.

    I was home alone (DH was in WI) with our dogs when Hurricane Charlie passed within 10 miles of us. It was my first hurricane and I was more than a little worried. I said lots of prayers, prepped the house as best I could on my own and sat in an interior hallway with the dogs until it passed by. We were one of the lucky ones, but after that we had a house generator installed so that we wouldn't be without power (and lose a freezer-full of food ever again).

    I'll say prayers for the safety of everyone in Irene's path...including you and yours. Please check back as soon as you're able to let us know you're alright.
    xoxo
