Snowy Days are Quilting Days

]]> Snowy days often are quilting and project days, especially when school is cancelled and the grandkids and I are home.  (I do substitute teaching so likely as not head off to school with the youngsters.)

Snowy days in March also remind me of a saying in our home when I was growing up, “Remember the Blizzard of ‘88.”  My grandparents lived during the unforgettable blizzard that paralized the east coast area starting March 11, 1888.  Grandpa’s stories of this time were fascinating to me as a child.

If you’d like to learn more about this period in our history, check out my page, More About the Blizzards of 1888 & Other Storms. (There also was an earlier severe blizzard in the West in 1888.)
