Getting a Shine on

 
Cementing went well...
 
Another check mark of the list!!
 

I have a new recruit this week.....
 
This is my sister, Larissa who I managed to drill ONE hole for me.
 
That was harder than she thought it was going to be!!
 
 
Larissa lives in High River, Alberta and was affected by the  recent flood
 
She and her kids and pets has been displaced since June 20th,2013
 
But she is resilent and has weathered this storm well!
 
Her condo should be ready for living this week!!
 
I treated her to a day with the quilting girls in Midale

 
to visit the Rolling Ray of Sonshine quilt truck
 
Larissa does not quilt so you can only imagine how I had to hold down her enthusiasm!!



I managed to finish my Scrap Squad#4 in the nick of time
 

 
I mixed a ton of prints in my Christmas rendition of Western Waltz

 
by Donna Benham of Omaha, Nebraska
 
 
which is currently in the Quiltmaker Magazine's Sept/Oct 2013 edition
 
 
 
This stripe called Glow Wavy Stripe by Susan Winget was my starting point....

 
and from there, it just got crazy!!

 
Stay tuned for the finished product!!
