Funny how things change!
Yesterday was DH’s regular weekly doctor’s appointment in Nelson, BC. Stopped to get the groceries on my list and new SIM cards for our phones. Then I had to haul butt to the Golf course. We met Pat and signed a rental agreement. So it is now decided. After living in a 3700 square footContinueContinue reading “Funny how things change!”
The Move Is On!
All went well with lawyer today so possession date is Nov.1! DH and I then picked up a very busy 6 year old grandson for dinner and a sleepover. As I have been packing the Studio and the 2 upstairs bedrooms I have been filling the spare room with boxes and stuff. So Mikey decidedContinueContinue reading “The Move Is On!”

Time for an update:I finished all of the costumes (47 of them) and am proud to say there was an amazing array of herbs, flowers, trees, dwarves, princesses and evil kings dancing around theContinueContinue reading “Sunny Days!”
Progress!
I am starting to get excited! Things are progressing here. First of all, only 2 more costumes and one rose crown to finish for the school. Not bad for only having 2 weeks to get them done. At first I was told they needed 37 costumes. With changes in design and the addition of 2ContinueContinue reading “Progress!”
Lonestar Update
This quilt is the Lonestar which has so much history attached to it. It was picked apart when a grandson spilt his grape juice on it. Then my machine crashed. Then I had to modify my design several times because I just didn’t’ have enough of the fabric to redo the original which was aContinueContinue reading “Lonestar Update”
Another Sewing Adventure
Some days I wonder how I get talked in to things! I just got home from our local Elementary School where I had a meeting with some teachers, advisors and a good friend who is a grandmother to one of the students. Turns out I am elected/volunteering to spearhead a group of students making costumesContinueContinue reading “Another Sewing Adventure”
One Block Wonder
A couple of weeks ago at my monthly teaching day at the Guild, I had fun showing Monique how to do a whack n stack, or One Block Wonder. She had some pieces of amazing Tula Pink fabrics that she thought would make fun pieced fronts for her knitting bags. The block turned out amazingContinueContinue reading “One Block Wonder”

Continued progress on Lonestar
Well I’m happy to say that this treasure is finally progressing along. I had issues with machines breaking down and needing to go to Allan for some much needed repairs and a service while he had possession of them. Can you believe all 3 machines went down one after the other or at the sameContinueContinue reading “Continued progress on Lonestar”
Under the Needle
Last fall I was awarded a commission to make a very special quilt for a couple that lost their home to the ravages of fire. Fire has touched my family on several occasions, from the Firestorm in Kelowna, to the house fires that my ex-husband and his family experienced to the house fire my sonContinueContinue reading “Under the Needle”
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”
