A frozen day in Arkansas

Yesterday morning started off with ice pellets and sleet, later in the day it continued, more sleet, frozen rain, ice whatever you want to call it we had it lightly all day into the evening.  This morning it was still 25 degrees and it had continued lightly all night.  The roads have a thin layer of ice on them — my car a heavier coating of ice — I’m not going anywhere today.  I got out a package of fabric that I bought in Wisconsin at Millhouse Quilt shop in September – maybe today is the right day to figure out what to use this package for.  I bought 2 fat quarter packages of the same colors with six fat quarters in each package – totally 6 half yard pieces.  I decided to cut them into squares and rectangles and will combine in some sort of combination.  I am cutting the pieces now, I have a photo in this days posting of the fabric.

Here are some photos of icy Arkansas from my deck:
