Isn't January 1st the time for resolutions? I never keep mine so I just make suggestions to myself. Along with the usual losing weight, being happy, exercising more, finishing UFO's, I do want to be better at blogging. I still have tons of quilts to show, last year was a rough for me in many ways and I'm looking for a less stressful 2011! BTW I am trying to say twenty eleven instead of two thousand eleven.
This morning there was a gorgeous sunrise but I got sidetracked finding my camera and missed the better colors. I also didn't want to go outside in the near zero weather so I had to lean out the windows of the house!

So why do ducks duck? Because their pen gets too weighted down with snow! Sorry, can't see the ducks. I will have to get a picture of them another time. This view is out Amy's bedroom window with zoom on.

I mailed this quilt off yesterday. I quilted it for someone on one of my yahoo groups. It was a swap we did last year of scrappy disappearing 9 patch blocks. I didn't do a closeup of the quilting unfortunately. The border is quilted with a free motion feather design.
