quilt show season

Is in full swing and Hamels is travelling the country showing all their goodies. Here's a few quilts for them I've recently quilted; look for them at your next quilt show!

Soft and pretty

quilted with Linna's Charm

I have still resisted buying this kit but I may have to give in. I just love the colours in this one.

Quilted with Floral Meander

 Love the modern look to this one.

Quilted with Fascination

 Love how the pattern shows up.

This lovely flannel quilt. 

Quilted with Acorns and Oak Leaves

I am loving this new fabric line from Fig Tree; Tapestry.

Quilted with Erin

l-o-v-e!!

 For the Berenstien Bear fan in your life.

Quilted with Sprung

This quilt is perfect for spring.

Love it. 

Quilted with Daisy 3

The pattern is just the right amount of softness to compliment the quilt.

Lastly, this stunning embroidery quilt.

Quilted with a simple meander

I kept the quilting simple and just went with a meander. No competing with the embroider on this one.

Beautiful!

This weekend, Hamels is in Calgary at the Heritage Park Quilt Show. If you are in the area, go say hi!

wordless wednesday

fabulous

That one word sums up our weekend. Had such a great time hanging out with our youth group(and pulling some pranks on them too lol). But wow, am I still tired! Monday the sun made an appearance and it was garden day; weeding, barkmulching, updating. Now I need a weekend to recover from my weekend.

I did get some quilting snuck in on Sunday afternoon and I finished up this wall hanging.

And yesterday I finished up my May Fresh Mini Club quilt.

It's an end of the year teacher gift so I did it in our school colours. This block may be my favorite out of the 3 months so far. But I think I've said that before lol.

weekend

It's Victoria Day weekend here this weekend. 

Sadly there won't be much of this

But lots of this

Which is okay since all of us are involved in a huge youth conference, HistoryMaker this weekend.

Have a great weekend; see you next week!

yesterday

Did not turn out as planned. My lovely beautiful first day off in 3 weeks and I spent 7 hours of my day yesterday on the phone. I had returned an internet phone on Monday and for soem reason, Tuesday night, our internet was turned off. I contacted our provider yesterday morning and was told there was an outage in the area; no big deal. Just after lunch, Jim called me to say that he had tried emailing me and it had been returned as non-existing email. Huh??

Turns out that all of our emails had been 'lost'. After way too many phone calls, three have been found; my two are still out there somewhere. I've been told that everything will be fixed by lunch today. I have to say that I will believe it when I see it.

As a result, this is the only bit of sewing I got done yesterday.

The good news? Jim is coming home tonight and can help solve the where is the email question if needed. And the weather has changed for our upcoming long weekend. Instead of the lovely sun that was expected, it will be a typical wet and rainy long weekend.

And I just may have picked up a few goodies at the quilt shop yesterday

It will be a great weekend.

wordless wednesday

unexpected

Sunday afternoon I discovered a charm pack that I had bought a few months back. Couldn't decide what to do with it so I started sewing them together as hsts.

Last night, drama practice was cancelled so we had an unexpected free evening. And even better, boys 2 and 3 offered to cook dinner; a whole evening of sewing for me!

The rows are now together and ready to be sewn into a quilt top. Today after work I will pick up some fabric for a border. And maybe, just maybe, I can sneak this one in to be quilted this week.

Fingers crossed!

quilt monday

Hope you all had a fabulous Mother's Day. I was shocked yesterday when I won our Mother's Day giveaway at church yesterday. I got this fabulous planter

And  a bag full of goodies. And I mean FULL.

Gardening tools, magazines, hand cream, suncatcher, box of chocolates to a favorite chocolatier and a gift card to my favorite spa. Woohoo!

Now onto the quilt.

With grad activities for A, a crazy drama schedule for J and getting ready for a huge youth conference for the three older boys next weekend, I have barely had a chance to sew. Thankfully I have no plans on Wednesday; just a date with my sewing machine!

Not a very exciting quilt. I finished the embroidery just after Valentine's Day and got it quilted(kept it simple and just ditched all the borders) just after Easter. And it took almost until now to get the binding on lol.

Happy Monday.
