Q1FAL

It’s always a fun time to record finishes. First up I have Charlotte’s sweater knitted, buttons sewed on and the parcel has been mailed! As usual, I forgot to take a picture after it had been soaked and blocked. Somewhere years ago, I was given a handwritten pattern for a children’s sweater pattern that isContinueContinue reading “Q1FAL”

February Block Count, UFO’s and Finishes

It was not a great month for sewing with so many doctor’s appointments and tests for DH and myself both. I was also trying to unpack, sort and set up our cute little apartment. I did become obsessed with checking emails and Facebook for pictures and updates on Ryan’s expected little one. It was alsoContinueContinue reading “February Block Count, UFO’s and Finishes”

Happy Monday

What a whirlwind few days we’ve had! I haven’t had a chance to make the three additional blocks I need for Levi, my on his way now, third great grandchild. They are at the hospital now and the waiting has begun! And yes, it was slipped that baby is a boy and his first nameContinueContinue reading “Happy Monday”

One Monthly Goal

I was able to meet my January goal of getting some bags and pouches done to get myself organized. I also got caught up with my Quiltville Good Fortune Mystery Quilt. Can I do the same in February? I do have several town trips for doctors appointments and a trip to Kelowna for the MSContinueContinue reading “One Monthly Goal”

January UFO & WIP Link Up

Today I am pleased to be able to link up with Julie’s link up on the Crafty Quilter blog. I managed to finish 3 more project bags to get myself organized in spite of having to make an unplanned trip to Vancouver, British Columbia to see about a life altering treatment for DH. I know,ContinueContinue reading “January UFO & WIP Link Up”

A Dreami Attack

Earlier this month I was doing another unpack and purge of my boxes and bins from our storage room knowing that we will be moving again in March and trying to get ready for a trip to Vancouver to see some doctors at a new Clinic for my hubby. While I was doing that IContinueContinue reading “A Dreami Attack”

Hope Springs Eternal

I saw that Kim at Persimmon Dreams had a quick Hop going on and decided that I would jump in with a couple of quick projects. I finished up my projects but forgot to account for the different time zones when trying to link up this morning! Good thing I had fun anyhow! With theContinueContinue reading “Hope Springs Eternal”

Best of 2018

I was looking for photos for my favourite finishes of the year and discovered that I am so bad at remembering to take pictures.  I’m sure that by the time I finish and need to get things in the mail, I am in too much of a hurry.  At least that’s my excuse and I’mContinueContinue reading “Best of 2018”

Another Gift Done

Had another great day today. Managed to finish one more Christmas present and get bindings done on two mini quilts in between drafting legal documents for the real estate deal. I will post the photos of the minis when Janeen publishes her patterns. We got a call this morning that DH was accepted in toContinueContinue reading “Another Gift Done”

Introducing Nova-Lee

This sweet angel is Nova-Lee, born December 27, 2017.  I finally had the chance to meet her (they live in Red Deer, Alberta. I did have a nice visn’t with Miss Nova-Lee, her brother, Mason, her Mom, Nicole and her Nanny, Stacy.  It was too short as there is never enough time to visit whenContinueContinue reading “Introducing Nova-Lee”

Winter Fun

This has been a busy winter, fondling fabric and a trip to Alberta to look after my two youngest granddaughters for a few days while Mom attending a seminar and Dad was working.  We had too much fun feeding animals and building an ice and snow castle.  We also began our first sewing lessons, andContinueContinue reading “Winter Fun”

Night Eyes from Sewn Up

I am so in love with this pattern!  It is great for beginners and a quick pattern for charity quilts.  As soon as I got the pattern, I whipped up the throw size to familiarize myself with the pattern.  Our local community golf course is not very secure right now, so I volunteered to doContinueContinue reading “Night Eyes from Sewn Up”

Throw made from TeresaDownUnder’s Night Eyes Pattern

This is the first quick test of Teresa’s pattern. I had volunteered to test patterns for her and had to try the throw before I pulled fabric from my stash to do the queen sized quilt she needed me to do.  Once I had pulled the fabrics from my scrap bin and from my stashContinueContinue reading “Throw made from TeresaDownUnder’s Night Eyes Pattern”

Charlotte’s pick

When my granddaughter, Charlotte was 3, her Daddy and Mommy discovered Charley was going to have a sibling.  Our Miss Charlotte decided she needed Nana to make her a quilt for her big girl bed in their new house.  With her Mom’s help, she found a pattern she liked and then picked her fabrics out.ContinueContinue reading “Charlotte’s pick”

Another one done!

Finally one for me to keep!  I have been hoarding this fabric ever since Kathleen bought some and showed it to me.  I had to make the trip to Kathy’s Quilt Shop in Prince George, BC to get the teal and brown floral, but then lucked out and found the extra fabrics to coordinate with theContinueContinue reading “Another one done!”
