I am not at my creative best during the winter months, especially February when it seems like the cold is never going to end. This year though my latest project has really kept me going. Too bad it can't keep me warm! This week, we've had sub zero temps for most of the week - as low as -18!
You know what that means?? My studio doesn't get much warmer than 60 degrees. Can anyone say - Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr?!?!?!

Little by little though, I am getting the Curves2 done. I was hoping to have all the piecing done by today but who knew it would take this long?! I'm literally on the 9th bobbin of thread on this baby! Geesh - like winter, I'm thinking the piecing is never going to end!!!
p.s. this is what I woke up this fine Friday morning......guess the cold isn't ending soon either!!!
Hopefully you're warmer than I and don't have to create with gloves on!
What are you up to creatively?

I hope the colors will keep you warm. It looks great!
I put a vest on when I'm cold and keep a hotpad on too. Seems to help when I keep my backbone warm. I lose all initiative when cold. Beautiful colours.
I sympathize! My studio, which is over the garage is also the coldest room in the house. I just put on extra layers.
Your piece is looking good!
Your design is very, very impressive......did I say....I'm impressed?!?
Oh my, stay warm !!! And your design is just fantastic, can't wait to see it finished ;-)
Take care,
Frauke
I share your pain. Not much warmer here in NJ. Your quilt is looking good.
The more you do on this piece the better I like it.
Looks worth the pain, though. Very impressive!
I love the way your piece is developing! such great colors. I feel like they go with your awesome sweater. Hope it gets warmer!
Love the color combination in the piece. Wish I could send you a bit of our unseasonably warm temperatures, we could trade for some snow in our mountains.
Your quilt is stunning! Too bad those warm colors don't give off heat.
Those curvaceously sunny colors glow from where i sit.! 6 bobbins already pau? Wow!
No wonder it's taking you so long. Intricate piecing and those temperatures don't sit well together. It's looking very good though
Whoa! That is cold! It's the same as -27 C up here, so I can relate. LOVE the curved piece; all of your hard work will be worth it in the end but yes, it's definitely throw-sized, eh?! Not sure you could get the effect with a very small piece...
Hi!!!! I am loving it more and more too!!!! It is very cold here too!!!!! Hope you can keep warmer!!!!
Hi, Nina Marie. I'm impressed by your perseverance in the cold--I would've gone to bed under the electric blanket. Lovely piece that you're working on.
best, nadia
That outfit is priceless. We are nearly as cold here in Appleton, WI. I'm always wearing layers whether inside or out and keep a pair of finger free gloves with a retractable mitten covering in office. Went grocery shopping without hat or gloves today because it felt so warm in the sun. Discovered it was 23 F when I came home. Back down to sub zero tonight, though.
Love what you are doing with the pieced the curves. They positively zing!
It is also Cold here...with over a foot of snow and sub-zero temps at night! Not our norm...I can't wait for Spring. Thanks for letting us link up and share!
that's really cold. What dedication to your art!!!! hope you can get warmed up. Love the quilt you're working on.
