Rain Blessed Rain

Today it is raining in California, I hope it keeps up and I hope it picks up a little. Right now it is more of a drizzle. I want a downpour and days of it.
We need it.
The mornings this week have been pretty cold, On Tuesday it was 27 when I finally pulled myself out of my warm bed. I quickly grabbed a sweater and lounge pants to stay warm until the house heated.
So my plans for rainy days.
I plan on going fabric shopping tomorrow to start on a new quilt. I am making a bow tie quilt with a twist. I am making it Black and White and calling it White Tie Affair in honor of the inauguration.
Not sure weather to make it all white ties or some black ties, I will discuss that with the quilt shop. I am so looking forward to making it, I will post photos as soon as it is pieced.
I am also working on my embroidered quilt, I want to get it to a quilter soon, Well as soon as i can get it pieced together, The panels are mostly embroidered but it needs piecing fabrics for sashing and finishing.
I also have one in Red work of the nursery rhymes, it is completed with the exception of putting it together with sashing strips.
So many beautiful projects, Now I just have to do them.
Rain makes me more content to sew.
So that is my days planned and past.
