Circles and Patches

I actually made a little progress today on the circles and patches.  I have 40 circles appliqued and 63 4-patches put together.  Not moving very quickly with that – but there you go.  Progress will be made slowly.  After all I never said I could make a quilt in a day or a week or even a month for that mater!  I like to enjoy it and take my time.

I have put in some more work on my knitting and the sweater front and back are almost complete – so a bit of progress there.  The purl stitch is coming more easily now and is “flowing” better.

It has been raining all day off and on.  More to come tomorrow.  Start off the day warm in the morning and temperatures will drop all day and we have a possibility – that is “possible” snow flurries by evening.  I just hope we don’t have ice!

The only thing left for me to do before Christmas is to make my Christmas coffee cake.  The yeast dough gets made in the morning and sits all day in the refrigerator (a cold rise – weird I know most need warmth to raise).  In the evening I put the whole thing together and bake it – then we enjoy it in the morning for breakfast and several days after that.  It warms up nicely in the microwave and taste best warmed up.  If I remember I will take photos of it and post the recipe.
