A few more guild show and tell quilts. These are from more than a year ago but I haven't shared them anywhere yet.  Happy quilting, :)Carol

Two items from show and tell at Dalemead Quilting guild.  Trying to share some photos with everyone.
Still trying to re-organize my sewing space.  Seems I am getting more stuff and not getting rid of enough.  I am getting more involved with Days for Girls.  A get cause to get involved in.  I have been making shields. Ties for the drawstring bags and trying to get the serging right on the corners of the liners.  Having fun doing it.
Happy quilting,

easy cathedral window


VLUU L100, M100  / Samsung L100, M100
Faux cathedral window
This partly done cathedral window belongs to Sharon L.  I was recently on a quilt retreat with her and others from my guild. I just loved this little piece.  It is now on my to do list.  She made this after watching a youtube video of Jenny Doan at Missouri Quilts.   I watched the same video and thought that I would like to make it but she is much faster at giving things a try.

Potholders I made for Chris and Sara for Christmas last year.  So cute.  I should make some more.
Just got back from a wonderful retreat.  It was at Rustlers Lodge in Sundre, Alberta.  Great place and wonderful food.  Got a lot of stuff done.  I will upload some photo's soon.
Happy quilting,

Carol

Vacation Time by Pat Sloan.



Block 6 and 7 for Pat Sloan's Vacation time.
I haven't gotten any further with this project.  Need to get back to it.
Working on this one for charity.
  Went to Spruce Meadows today to watch some horse jump.  Had a nice time. Legs a little
sore.
   Had a sewing lesson this morning before we went.  Learned how to cut and sew the liners for Days for Girls. I am excited to get started on them.

This are small cards that I made with doodles and tangles and I hope to use them on cards for gifts.
Yet another craft I enjoy to fill my time.
Try out a local gym today to see if we want to commit to getting into better shape.  Also did a bit of 
purging in my sewing room after we got home.  It's a very slow job.  Took time to cut out some circles in denim for a cathedral window quilt.  It is a little hard on the hands so I have a lot of circles drawn on the denim and cut a few at a time.  At present i am cutting 6 inch and 4 inch circles.  Each fit at different points on the pant legs.
While I guess that is my news for today.
Happy quilting and crafting to all in the blog world.
