I didn't get many photos--I was too busy sewing. Click any of these for the larger versions.
We finished two more tops and ended the day with several more WIPs--one came home with me ... and will be one of the things I share in my belated WIP Wednesday post soon.
We also finished up our quilt for the Guild's silent auction and the raffle quilt for the American Cancer society.
It was a perfect, beautiful, sunny winter day. We enjoyed a great potluck lunch. Around four o'clock, we packed up and were ready to head out ...
Then the excitement began. While backing down the driveway, Nancy's car went off the long driveway and into a snow-filled ditch. Only Alicia had left before her; the rest of us were around and tried to help ... without success.
After trying and failing the usual approaches of putting something under the wheels, rocking the car, digging out some of the snow under the car ... it was Carmella's son to the rescue.
Boy and dog really seemed to be enjoying this more than the rest of us ...
I missed the beauty shot, because when all the wheels were spinning and going no where and it wasn't looking promising ... I slipped inside to see Carmen's Birthday Blocks, laid out on the living room floor. When I came out, Nancy's car was out of the ditch and chains were being removed.
And there were smiles all around.

Those are some nice looking quilts! Sounds like you had a nice day too.
...but the 'tractor pull adventure' makes me REALLY GLAD I don't live anywhere where that white stuff accumulates on the ground (it might come down on a rare occasion, but it doesn't stick!)
That's a quilter's dream combination...tractors and quilting...ahh the wonder of it all.
