I finished my friend's 'Mini Heartsy' quilt today while a blizzard raged outside. The quilt measures 37 ½" x 43 ½". It has Hobbs' Tuscany cotton-wool blend batting. I used 40-wt. White Lace Omni thread on top, and 60-wt. Bright White Bottom Line thread in the bobbin. The pantograph is Butterfly and Swirls by Anne Bright.
Meanwhile, right now at 8:00 p.m., it's 29° with a windchill of -9°, and the wind is blowing at a steady 35 mph with gusts up to 55 mph. Earlier, those gusts were reaching nearly 70 mph. We only got a couple of inches of snow, but it looked like it was all in the air, all at once! Sometimes I couldn't even see the trees right out in the yard.
