Any Port in a Storm...

I kept hearing Tessie yelling this morning... When I went to see what was going on, there was a terrible storm in the family room.  Snow everywhere!

She was standing at the door of the Rusty Needle quilt shop, yelling her head off...

 She was trying to attract Zar's attention.  He was battening down the hatches at the Clockwork Trailer.

I guess that she decided that this was the most solid building and was determined to hide in there and work on warm fuzzy quilts all day... Only one problem.  She needed help.

So... When Zar finally showed up, she put him to work at the machine. 

And what did she do?  She made a lame excuse about not being able to use the machine, because her fingers were "Just soooo stiff!"

And of course, being a gentleman, Zar took over...

I am going to have to have another little talk with him.  He is back to falling for her tales of woe...

The good thing about it is, he is turning out a really nice school house quilt top... It's on the back of the chair in front of him. 

And meanwhile, Tessie just sits there complaining about the cold and twiddling her thumbs. It might help if she would just put on some socks and shoes... Typical Tessie.  Complaining is much more fun!

I am off to bake some Christmas cookies now.  That's how I keep warm... See you tomorrow.
