A Day of Fabric and Friends



Yesterday I had the honor of helping Tamra

 

of The Pleasant Pheasant Fabrics

 

 choose new lines for her Fall order

 

 

Oh...the possiblities!!

 



 

For a moment I thought I was back at Houston Quilt Market!!



 

 

I know what I like but tried to keep all of my quilty friends tastes in mind.

 

 

Tracey? Colleen?? Any of these??

 



I loved these striped batiks...

 

(and Kate Spain)

 



So that was a super fun morning.....

 

 The afternoon was spent with the Heart and Hand Guild

 



 

One of their members, Irene Roy

 

 is embarking on a new adventure as she moves to Saskatoon in September

 

 

Irene is an incredible quilter

and

 any guild that she joins will only benefit from her wealth of knowledge

 

She has made not ONE but SIX of these scrap apple quilts!!

 

She has dabbled in so many artistic ventures and is amazing at them all

 

At 87 years young,

 we teased her about how 80 is the new 50!!

 

Irene's presence will be missed but not forgotten

 

I know our paths will cross again... quilters travel!!

 

Their guild did a challenge due for the Fall and Irene has already finished her!!

 



 

 

Good tidings on your voyage to a new city.

 

I can only imagine the fun your going to have.

 

Thank you for your influence ~ you make us all want to be better quilters!!

 

Till then...

 

I am off to repair a tractor.... what we quilters won't do to keep our stash up!!
