Another Box of Treasures
When I picked up my mail a couple of weeks ago, I had received another fun box of treasures from Denise.

My Day on the No Ring November Blog Hop
I’d like to thank Carla from Creatin in the Sticks for hosting this month’s blog hop. The theme is mug rugs or projects to protect our tables. As Carla says a hop is “like a “show and tell” online.

More Happy Mail!
On Thursday last week I received an email that a parcel was waiting for pick up at the post office. I had to go to town to get DH’s meds and do a couple of errands so I headed out. Unfortunately I was later leaving so went by the post office at lunch. Then everythingContinue reading “More Happy Mail!”
Quilts For Lytton Update
Last night while on a Zoom class by Silly Moon Quilting I met a woman who’s got family in Lytton who lost everything in the fires. She told us that they have now collected and distributed over 2000 quilts. Isn’t it incredible how our community steps up to help? Apparently they are now trying toContinue reading “Quilts For Lytton Update”

August OMG Check In
All in all August was a good month! Our Evacuation Alert was lifted so I was able to go to my studio for a few days and had sewing time almost every day. My goal for August was to keep trying to finish up some projects: 1. Finish my Orange You Glad Blog Hop ProjectContinue reading “August OMG Check In”
My Trip to the Studio
It was so wonderful to finally be able to take a trip to the studio. My ferry was running and the wait was short. It was so nice to take the ferry instead of having to drive the long way around. It was a good day to travel, not too hot and the smoke wasContinue reading “My Trip to the Studio”

Another Day and A Finish
We are still on evacuation alert, but I don’t have any updated maps. The smoke is still too thick for them to get good photos to map it out. It was another day of watching helicopters and timing their runs, taking photos of these amazing pilots. Their job is hindered by the people rafting andContinue reading “Another Day and A Finish”
Another Flimsy Finished
The fun wonky log cabin blocks are now a finished flimsy! I’ll be finishing this on my next trip to the studio to donate to the Quilts for Lytton group of people who lost everything when their town burned to the ground.

I’ve received several messages requesting more info on the quilts that are needed. The first note is that any sized quilts are needed. Whole families have been displaced from the Lytton Fire. The largest wildfires are now burning outside of Kamloops and many hundreds more households have been evacuated. They were going to evacuation sheltersContinue reading “Quilts for Wildfire Victims”

I had some fun today making some blocks for a quilt to send to the Lytton Fire Drive. This is completely from my scrap bins. I just love the warmth of these brown, rust and tan scraps with the bits of red, blue, orange, yellow and green in the patterns. To me this quilt willContinue reading “Sunday Sewing”

As quilters we comfort with the gift of quilts. Let’s let Lytton residents know how much we care❣️ I decided that since our province is suffering from overContinue reading “Quilts for Lytton”
