Pattern Testing Feather Chain

I was very fortunate to be asked by Gail Sheppard who you might know by her blog name Quilting Gail to do a pattern test for her. Of course I was thrilled and started pulling fabrics. I was not satisfied with the first pull and switched out fabrics. I was thinking of a subtle fallContinueContinue reading “Pattern Testing Feather Chain”

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.

September DrEAMi Projects

This has been such a fun month with so many distracting squirrels chasing me around. I think it might have something to do with having time on my hands while working for Elections Canada at the advance polls and just sitting and waiting for people to come and vote! 😉 It all started when IContinueContinue reading “September DrEAMi Projects”

The only restriction is that the fabrics have to all be scraps; no Yardage included! Here’s the list of people who sometimes write about their scrappy adventures.ContinueContinue reading “Scrap Happy September”

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 andContinueContinue reading “Another Day and A Finish”

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. Keeping myself busy sewing is helping keep me from running outside every 5ContinueContinue reading “Another Flimsy Finished”

Sunday Sewing
