Now to quilt MY QUILT!!!!

I finished Marilee's quilt and then moved on to the quilt I was to give to my friend Linda Potter. Linda had put some interesting fabrics into her brown bag last February - so interesting that I really had trouble figuring out what to do with them. After much deliberation, I decided that doing a simple block would be best - then I could just "quilt the heck out of it".
This is my FAVOURITE quilt design that I have done so far - I lust loved those feathers!!!
Here is the final product - modelled by Aidan. And I got it done TWO WHOLE DAYS BEFORE OUR EXCHANGE!!!

Now back to Machine Quilting

I had a quilt top to quilt for my friend Marilee and when the studio tour finished I finally got around to doing it. I knew it was for our Fibre Friends exchange but I didn't know who the recipient would be. I just LOVE these fabrics!

Pictures from the Studio Tour

Here are some pictures from the studio tour that Nellie and I participated in last month. As you can see the venue was perfect for our quits!

What a cute Christmas tree.

The table was filled with goodies.

Happy Belated New Year!!!!


WOW - where did that month/year/decade go?????

The studio tour was a great success and it was so much fun sharing our space with Linda Hart the jewelry designer - we did do (just a little) shopping on her side of the building!! My agenda covers sold out and many of my punchneedle pieces went fast. All of the ornaments I made were gone by the end of the tour - the tree looked very bare the second Sunday! All in all we had a great time. Thanks to all of our friends who came to visit.

Our Fibre Friends quilt exchange was GREAT!!! I have lots of pictures and will post some in a couple days.

Christmas and New Year's were busy as always, so now I am enjoying a little down time and the return to a normal schedule. Now we are counting down the days until our Florida vacation!
