Playing Catch Up!
The past week and a half has had me busy running back and forth to town, having my teaching day at the Guild (very excited! I have a newbie Quilter attending! Another addict has been created.), dropping everything to go to a friends’ assistance when she had a quilting emergency, and getting the news thatContinueContinue reading “Playing Catch Up!”
August OMG
Since I managed to meet my goals in July I’m hoping to do the same for August. I have a wall hanging I am doing as a pattern test for a December release. Great pattern with lots of paper piecing and Y Seams. I found some great Christmas fabrics in my stash which are perfectContinueContinue reading “August OMG”
July OMG Finishes!
To date July has been quite the month! My goal for July was to finish 3 quilt tops. My first finish was a sweet pattern I was testing. The flimsy is done and in my cue for quilting. It looks like September will be a full month of quilting and binding quilts at the rateContinueContinue reading “July OMG Finishes!”
Another July Finish!
Today I managed to finish another quilt top that I was pattern testing for The Quilt Pattern Magazine. It won’t be published until the fall so I can’t share any of the details or finished photos. I can show a sneak peek of the fabrics. This will be my third finish for My July OMGContinueContinue reading “Another July Finish!”
Hidden Treasures
This pattern was designed to combine 2 of my favourite things; scraps and a funky, fun focal fabric. The occasion arose where our local Golf Course is in dire financial straights and in need of some fundraising. I (ahem) was volunteered to do a quilt, which over the course (see how I did that 🤪)ContinueContinue reading “Hidden Treasures”
Sunday Funday! Another Finish!
Blue skies and sunshine started the day just right. DH had his new golf cart delivered and I was lucky enough to spend my day sewing and fondling fabric. I have another finish! A runner and 6 placemats done. I was pattern testing for Joanne of Canuck Quilting. What a fun pattern and such aContinueContinue reading “Sunday Funday! Another Finish!”
Mosaic Mystery QAL
Oh I do love squirrels, I had decided that I was going to behave and just concentrate on my July OMG list and finishing up some UFO’s, but then I kept seeing the posts for the Meadow Mist Mosaic Mist QAL. Yesterday the post was up for the fabric choices and that was it! SuchContinueContinue reading “Mosaic Mystery QAL”

July OMG
I’m hoping my July will be as successful at getting my goals met early and having time in case those squirrels catch me again. I am doing another pattern test for a pattern to be in October or possibly November for The Quilt Pattern Magazine. My deadline for this one is month end. It isContinueContinue reading “July OMG”
My first finish for July!
My first finish from my OMG list is done! The quilt top is finished and I’m just heading out to take some photos on this bright, sunny day if the grass is dry enough. It’s so nice and fresh out since it rained torrentially last night. These are sneak peeks of the top. It willContinueContinue reading “My first finish for July!”
July OMG
The month is starting with sunny blue skies and warm winds blowing! It’s a great way to start the month after having a rainy, dreary month in June. For this month I have 3 patterns to test: 2 full size quilts (54″ x 74″ and 88 1/2″ x 88 1/2″) and one runner/placemat set! HowContinueContinue reading “July OMG”

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”
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. The days of the stereotype are fading but to me Mothers Day has always been a day where I try to let my children and grandchildren know how much I loveContinueContinue reading “A Mother’s Day Finish”
