Even though it snowed steadily for 24 hours yesterday, here in SE Pennsylvania we only ended up with about 9 inches and it is very light. It still makes for treacherous walking and driving but nothing like NYC and eastern Massachusetts. The temperatures are a bigger problem dipping down into single digits overnight. We do have a generator if the power goes out but most of our neighbors do not. Last time there was a multi-day power failure event, we charged batteries and ground coffee for neighbors we had never even met.
I am happy that I have the big quilt to hold on my lap during weather like this. Some of the rooms in this old stable are difficult to keep warm. I think I have between one and two months of quilting left even if I work every day. I have some thoughts on my next project but at this point the main thought is to make something smaller like a table runner. Perhaps I will make a cushion cover for the inglenook bench in our living room. We still have this old fashioned white on white damask cover from the previous owner who died at the age of 97. My living room is relatively serene in design and color so the white/ivory color is all right if not terribly exciting but some kind of applique cover would be great. No one really sits there very much so the extra wear and tear of people's derrieres wouldn't matter.
