Eye Candy Quilt Show

Prairie Piecemakers of Regina, SK held their quilt show this weekend...

 

 

It was EYE CANDY alright!!!

 

Their raffle quilt was this incredible wall hanging...

 

 

I will be waiting of the call from my friend,

 

Shelby as to which basket of goodies I won..

(just positive thinking)

 

There was a booth with our recently purchased Scan and Cut...

 

Got some more great tips at that booth!!

 

Quilt stores from near and far...

 

Heart and Sole of Grand Forks,BC!!!

 

There was a new store I didn't know about from Swan River, MB that I quite enjoyed

 

 

called Fabriculous...

 

Just might have to do a summer road trip!!

 

 

I have to apologize for the pics...

 

my phone was searching for service in this building

 and

 was nearly dead so I didn't get as many as I wanted!!

 

Cardinals..

 

Kitties....

 

I have a real love as of late for mini's-

 

These Holly Hobbies were pretty sweet...

 

Falling leaves...

 

Spring Poppies...

 

Purples... need I say more?

 

There was definitely a lot of color...

 

Teals...

 

More Teals...

 

Love the quilting in this simple but stately piece

 

Bright witches..

 

Mom and I sat for a drink when we met these two ladies....

 

They had some amazing buttons from the Flea market.

 

They had met one of our members at lunch......a Charlene...Wimmell??

 

You mean Wimmer....

 

Yup...That's our Charlene...She's quite the card!!

 

You made an impression(a good one), Charlene!!

 

The trunk show was equally as impressive

 

Beautiful setting....I wanted to eat dessert first!!

 

These Collages of Maple leaves were impressive...

 

Tiny pieces and great coloration...

 

 Fabric sushi...

 

Looks good enough to eat!!

 

Thanks for inviting us,Shelby!!

Brother Scan and Cut

What a difference a day makes!!

 

Today, it is pouring rain...

 

we need it....

 

We did not have any snow to speak of this year

 

 

Yesterday was100m/h winds,

 

 making my neighbor's field look like the Dirty Thirties all over again!!

 

It is probably loving the rain today!!

 

Since the sun was shining yesterday,

 

 Maryann and I decided we would attempt a maiden voyage

 and

kayak for the first time this year.

 

 The wind gave us quite the workout....

 

as we paddled the creek against the wind!!!

 

There were some choppy waters but it was a good time none the less!!!

 

There were tons of turtles sunning themselves on the banks....

 

 

Who needs to go to a gym!!!

 

Recently, our guild purchased a Brother Scan and Cut

 

 

which a couple of us tried to figure out the other day.

 

I have to say the instructions are pretty vague

 but

I think we got the gist of it!!

 

 

Can't say it went smoothly...We are going to need some new mats!!

 

But after getting the settings right,

 

 we managed to feed in some fabric...

 

and get a slashed up piece that resulted in ....

 

Happy Birthday....

 

.... CHEER and a couple of shapes.

 

I think it will be a good investment once we refine the procedures!!
