Oooh, get a load of those bright grunge polka dots.
Quilted with a "modern" pantograph, oddly enough called Mid Century. The backing was pieced, using preprinted Stack 'n Whack fabric and more of the grunge polka dots.
THE STORY OF I HATE WINTER
Here's the back yard Tuesday night.
Here's the front yard Wednesday morning. Now we've got snow on TOP of the ice. Guild meeting tonight is cancelled. This makes three in a row - one for each guild I belong to.
Next, it warmed up overnight and melted much of the snow. Then it froze again.
Thursday morning. Yeah. Happy Valentines to you too Mother Nature. Geez. Poor Sadie is risking life and limb every time she needs to go for a pee.
Thurday morning front yard. Can you see my driveway over there? That is a massive sheet of ice.
It is Sunday morning now and the driveway is still a sheet of ice. There's a crust of ice on top of the snow, so even going over the LAWN to get to the road is slipperier'n hell.
DH and I did manage to get out and run a couple of errands. I hit the sale rack in the produce section and bought a bag of half price apples. I cut up the whole bag for Apple Betty and used a 9 x 13 pan. Yes - sugar is the only thing keeping me sane these days. At least I leave the skin on the apples.
My Red Hat group got into a discussion once about buying produce off the sale rack (I think this was during the $7.00 cauliflower period), and whether we did or didn't. Until then I'd never even thought about looking there, but if I'm baking or canning or cooking veggies for soup...why not?
This is as close as I can get to a giggle.

Last week I showed you a pic of my kitchen door covered in ice. This is the same door, THIS week. Fresh ice. This was Tuesday morning.
