This is the latest project. I used my walking foot to quilt it and I'm happy with the way it turned out.

This is the new purchase this week. I have always loved to camp and I have never had a camper that you didn't have to set up eg.. tents, tent trailers. I can not wait for the first camping trip in June. I have already warned the bf that now I can bring some quilting with me. Maybe my old sewing machine prehaps.

Have a great week-end.

Life

I have had a very busy week-end. I found my tiger lilies. This is only about a quarter of them though, I hope the weeds did not choke them out. I have a HUGE blister on the plam of my hand from 4 hours of weeding. Our weather was SO beautiful these last two days.

Went to Canadian Tire and bought a few flowers so had to plant them. One of my daughters picked out these pansies. We also bought this little fence thinking it would keep out Sam (our puppy) from the flower bed, we hadn't even finished putting it up and he had jumped over it, so time will tell.

These are the beautiful flowers my girls bought me for Mother's Day. It means so much to me that they spent their own hard earned money on them.

This is Sam relaxing. This little green pillow pal was his Christmas present and right now he takes it everywhere. Now that is life isn't it.

I didn't get around to putting on my binding, maybe tomorrow!

Have a great week.

I have been spending sooooo much of my time reading everyone elses GREAT blogs that I'm not getting much else done. I must spend about 1 hour every evening, when I get home for work, on my computer. Everyones quilts are so beautiful.

I do almost have my 9 patch one quilted. I do so love my walking foot. I'm hoping to put on the binding this week-end. Cross your fingers.

I also need to get out to my flower beds and weed. I know my tiger lilies are under those weeds somewhere. It's going to be a busy week-end.

block 2

I had blogged March 5th that I was going to work on my blocks and finish one block a week. Well it only took me 2 months. There are 60 pieces to this block. Stay tuned for block 3!

I have been a bad blogger these days. I have a few projects on the go, finally got to my machine quilting of my 9 patch tonight.

My sister made this picture above. I love it. She draws it out then colors it in with special gel markers. I love the colors.

Hope to be posting some finished projects soon.

Have a great day.

Thread catcher

This is the best invention. The thread catcher. It only takes 2 hours to make. The top part on the table is a pin cushion.

For those of you that read my first blog about my mom moving back to Canada, well it's happening JUNE 15th. Mom I forgot to put in your e-mail that I love the star quilt. It will look awesome after you quilt it.

Quilting show

It was that time of year again. The biggest quilting show in Manitoba. It only comes every two years and I don't miss it. These are my items I bought. I was very impressed with myself that I didn't spent my whole pay cheque this time!! I just loved that fabric, it came in a pack together for 50 bucks, I thought that was a great deal. These are little Kimono's that I think are so cute. The paper hanging from the sleeve is an english name transfered to Japenese names. The love letter book is a pattern book of letters of the alphabet. My youngest daughter wants her name on her quilt, so I have no excuse now to get it started.

After being at the quilting show and seeing all those beautiful quilts it gave me inspiration to come home and continue on my, with the quilting. It is coming along quite quickly.

Have a great Monday
