Teaching A Class And Winter With A Vengeance

Yep, that’s what I did today—our friend Bonnie has owned the quilt shop in Big Timber for I’m guessing about a year—the former owner of the longarm and shop wasn’t able to provide much in the way of education for Bonnie due to time constraints when she left.  So, Janna to the rescue—Bonnie and Vickie wanted a basic lesson on machine maintenance and how to load a quilt so it comes out square when you are finished.  We had a great day—learning and chatting.  We progressed to having Bonnie practicing feathers—I drew them and she began tracing the drawn feathers.  I left her lots of drawn ones to practice on! Smile

Our weather forecast has been all gloom and doom—this morning it was 45 degrees when we got up, not exactly a winter storm.  IMG_9399Well, about 3pm that all changed and now we have 10-12 inches of snow, the wind is starting to blow—this could be one major, nasty storm!  Our temps are supposed to drop into the single digits tonight and below zero in the following days.  Our power has blinked a couple times, hopefully we won’t lose our power.  We aren’t leaving to go south until after Christmas this year—maybe we should have gone south and returned home just for the holidays???

IMG_9413Obviously these photos were taken before darkness fell—we have twice as much snow now!!

We have a pot of soup on the stove and are sipping on a glass of wine, all snug as a bug—and we don’t have anywhere to be for the next few days—life is good!

  1. The pictures of your deck look like a Winter wonderland, but I'm glad to enjoy our 70 degrees and sun for today. A pot of soup and a glass of wine! Can't think of better provisions to ride out a snowstorm with.:-)

  2. Your snow pictures are lovely to look at, but I'm sure glad I'm not there in person. Keep the pictures coming for us freezy cats. :)

  3. Your pic of the red lights and snow would make a pretty Christmas card.

  5. Wow, I would love to someday learn how to do those gorgeous feathers, but probably not in this lifetime. Take care in the winter weather, Janna. Rumor has it that it could even snow right at sea level on the beach here in Brookings tonight or tomorrow. I don't believe it, and it certainly won't be anything like Montana. Whew.

  7. It is beautiful to look at, but seeing snow in photos is the best way to enjoy that weather.

  9. I love those snow photos especially since they are in your backyard and not mine. This long arm quilting stuff sure seems complicated to me. I'll just stick with simple computers.

  10. I like the idea of soup and wine. . . but am not so sure about the snow.
