Cattle in the Snow and Jelly Roll Rug...

We woke up to SNOW this morning...

The calves enjoyed romping around 

in the SNOW

After we checked for new calves

and bedded the barns,

I headed for the Quilt Palace

to join up with the Harlan Valley Quilters...

This is my new Monday project @ the Palace:

Jelly Roll Rug

Jelly Roll strips....

I stitched all of the strips together,

end-to-end,

assembly line style

The batting is stitched inside the strips...

I am 4 hours into this project

and it is moving along quickly.

Looking forward to working on it again

next Monday.
