Some snow and finished handquilting


This is a picture I took today when I went for a walk here in Sweden, it is about -9 C here during the day with a hard wind. The sky is so clear, wonderful walking weather!
Saturday night it started snowing and it didn't stop until Sunday afternoon. The cat loved it. He made tunnels in the yard and he was jumping high over it like a hare. In the afternoon DH hung some new seed balls in the trees for the birds.




Today I finished hand quilting the quilt I have been writing about for so long..but now it is done. Here is a close-up of the front and back of the quilting.
Unto the next quilting project!

Oh that cat is so funny... We got a light dusting of snow, but my cats are afraid to go outside... Let alone get their little toes wet/cold in the snow...

Beautiful snow pictures. I don't think American cats like to play in the snow, that must be a Scandinavian cat characteristic! He sure looks cute.
