Stitching Storms

You know it's spring in Oklahoma when the breakfast conversation is all about which car to leave in the garage and what to remember to unplug before we head out to work.  The forecast is for potentially monster tornado producing storms in the west of the state, with the additional potential for large hail and lots of lightening.  There probably won't be much stitching this evening, so it's a good thing I got lots of stitching time over the weekend.  

There are lot of projects on the active list at the moment, Christmas Angels, Vintage Dresses, Wild and Goosey, On Ringo Lake, Storm at Sea and the Daisy Chain Mystery.  Usually I work on all the active projects at once, just chain piece what ever pieces are needed for each project. That way I make a bit of progress on all of them.  But this weekend I decided to focus on just two projects, Storms at Sea and the Daisy Chain Mystery.  Getting the blocks completed for Storms at Sea is this month's one monthly goal, so I want to be sure that happens.  Alison releases the last clue for the Daisy Chain Mystery today, so I wanted to be all caught up for that.   

I made really good progress on the Storm at Sea blocks.

All that's left is three large economy blocks and one last diamond block.  I should be able to get those all done and up on the design wall this weekend. Hopefully I'll get a good start on stitching the blocks together. I'd like to get this off the design wall so there's room to play with the next quilt on the to be finished list.  

Fingers crossed that I'll be able to check out some of the other links over at Monday Making, Main Crush Monday and the Monday Design Wall linky parties when I get home from work.  The weather guys often overestimate the storm threat, but the Weather Channel guys are hanging out in Oklahoma City, so it's likely going to be a wild afternoon/evening.

  2. Storm at Sea is so close to being done!! It's looking great even at this stage. Good luck with the storms, I hope they pass you by and become a non-factor else where!

  3. Your Storm at Sea is really coming together now! My son who lives in Nebraska told us the storm chasers were all over the place where he lives on Friday because of the big storms and tornados. Hope those storms avoid your area today!

  4. It’s a perfect quilt to be working on with “monster” tornadoes in the forecast. It’s looking great. I hope all that bad weather stays well away from you. Stay safe.

  6. Perhaps Storm Over the Prairie is more appropriate during tornado season! Love the bright spectrum.

  7. Your storm at sea is really coming along Love the clear bright colors. Yep it is that time. unfortunately you are more in the high risk area than I. But doesn't calm my nerves any. Wish I had room right for my car. I've been trying to get it purged of stuff and it's been a slow process. Be safe

  8. Hi Kate! I didn't realize you were in OK. I have a nephew that lives in Allen and a good friend in OKC. Oh your Storm at Sea is really coming along nicely. SO FABULOUS in fact. I just adore all the colors and fabrics you have chosen, and the movement this pattern achieves by tricking the eye. I should just bite the bullet and make one myself. ~smile~ Roseanne

  11. Storm at Sea is going to be stunning! We were in central Arkansas on Saturday when the predicted storms skirted our area. We heard they are expecting more severe storms today, though, so we're holding our breath (from sunny East TN) for the AR family.
