Yesterday the post was up for the fabric choices and that was it! SuchContinueContinue reading “Mosaic Mystery QAL”

Another Weird Adventure!
Last Tuesday I left home at 8:00 to make my 9:00 physio appointment in Nelson. After working with Stu for an hour, I had some errands and a quick stop at the fabric shop in Nelson before I headed to Castlegar. There I had banking and errands for DH to do. By this time it’sContinueContinue reading “Another Weird Adventure!”

Another Few Days of Stitching Fun
I have been too busy since last week to actually sit down and write a post! Last week saw us in two different cities seeing different doctors on different days. DH is doing good and I get to try 8 weeks of physio before the surgeon will do the surgery on my shoulder. Works outContinueContinue reading “Another Few Days of Stitching Fun”
June OMG
As usual, I didn’t quite make my full list of goals for May. My shoulder was just too uncomfortable to manage any extended periods of time free motion quilting on my domestic machine. Add to that a slight run in between my finger and a moving bobbin shuttle! 🥵 The end result just means IContinueContinue reading “June OMG”
I Was Featured!
While I was getting caught up on emails this morning, I found an email I hadn’t opened yesterday. I was really enjoying reading about Jennifer’s jaunt to Spring Market and getting caught up in all her adventures, meeting people, seeing treasures and staying in sweet spots. Then at the bottom of her post I sawContinueContinue reading “I Was Featured!”
Sweet Sunday Sewing, Or Not?
This morning I got up bright and early hoping to see sunshine or the possibility of blue skies to be able to take pictures of some almost finished or finished projects. It was not to be as the grey skies and many grey clouds showed that today would likely be another wet one. I’m notContinueContinue reading “Sweet Sunday Sewing, Or Not?”
Secret Sewing and Sandwiches
I managed to sandwich my two other fundraising quilts for the golf course. In between getting that done and waiting for my basting spray to dry, I was working with some of the almost 300 hst’s I made yesterday for the secret sewing I am doing. Can you see all of the bonus hst’s IContinueContinue reading “Secret Sewing and Sandwiches”
May OMG Finish
So here it is: the first of my three quilts for the golf course fundraiser. It was too much fun to just walk out my front door and take a picture of the quilt on one of the Course picnic tables. I had no way to hang the quilt so I thought this would workContinueContinue reading “May OMG Finish”
A Mother’s Day Finish
Happy Mother’s Day to you all; be you mother, father, grandmother, aunt, son, daughter or person who has shared special time with a child.
