A Week of Great Finishes

Harvest is done and the bales are made....

 

First truckload has been shipped....

 

Just in time to go to Homespun in Carlyle, Sk

 

As we wandered through the quilt show I thought I recognized this quilt...

 

Yup...

 

Heather Piermantier's quilt she made at our retreat last year!!

 

I teased her about how she had taken over the show!!

 

I hired Terry Whitman to quilt Pat Jones quilt

 

 

She did an amazing job of quilting it...

 

Pictures do not do it justice but gives you an idea...

 

I can wait for Pat to see it!!

 

 

I was crunched for time

as

 this quilt had a ride back to Glendive if I could get it bound

 

I used Suzie's Magic Binding as I am still in love with this technique

 

 

I love the resulting flange from the two colored binding!!

It was delivered to Pat on Friday and I hope she loves it!!

 

Off to help some friends with their harvest...

 

Hope the sun keeps shining!!

Homespun in Carlyle,Saskatchewan

 

With most of the siding complete....

 

(Every box of siding contains a surprise inside...this one is black AND white)

 

 

 

The lights all hung inside....

 

 

and out...

 

We took a break and headed to Carlyle, Sk to take in Homespun Craft and Quilt Show.

 

This is a juried show and always proves to be interesting.

 

There are great tasty snacks...

 

 

Yes..

 

These have already been taste tested for family approval!!



 

 

There was amazing metal work....

 

 

 

Not sure if it was the red, the dragonfly or the black rock

 

 but

 

 I thought the garage deserved a house warming gift.

 

This hat..... 

 

 and set of mitts really made us laugh....

 

 

as my dad has trapped many skunks this summer.

 

Who knew he could have had a market for his 'wares'??

 

We seriously considered it for a Christmas gift for him

 

BUT

 

it's a little too warm for Arizona!!

 

At the Quilt show, I was very good.....

 

 

I only purchased one FQ.

 

 Who could resist such a beautiful piece?

 

So it's back to the grindstone today!

 

Got to hurry...winter is a...coming!!!
