The trees have turned white

The trees have turned white and not just because there is a tonne of snow on them. They are actually white. I know that sounds bonkers. I can't quite explain it, but it is as if someone had dipped them all in icing sugar. It is the most beautiful thing. I wish I could capture it on film for you to see but my attempts have failed miserably!

Anyway onto the sewing. I have started making Rose Star blocks. Here is my first one. It took quite a while to put together so this will not be a fast project but will be something I can work on on these cold dark nights.


Hope you are all staying warm.

  1. I love your block - it's so pretty! My only attempt at a rose star was disastrous but now I want to do another one straight away. Looking forward to seeing what you make.

    Have a lovely Christmas!

  2. Wow, it's gorgeous Caroline! I need to start an EPP project soon - my kids have started their summer holidays, so I don't think I'll get much sewing machine time for a while :o)

  5. Your block is lovely Caroline I think you will get lots of chances to make more of them if the weather forecast is right!

  6. Hehehe, I live in Australia so we're keeping ice and warm. It's 36 degrees today! Some of our gum trees have whitish bark. I think the sun bleaches it?
