Day 20 Of 31 Day Blog Challenge

Can you believe I have blogged for 20 straight days??

Justin's frosty lane

Maybe you can!

Is that the sound of crickets out there???

Anyways...

Since Christmas is almost here,

I thought this was a good 'next' goal...

Let's hope Covid moves on so we can move on!!

Thank you to every one who participated 

in our

ELF YOURSELF sale

over

 on

Our Facebook Page

We were blown away at the support for our small business!

We tried to offer things I love through out the year.

Most people have their stash already....

but there are a few orders waiting to go out!!

Who knew that these little brushes would be holding them ransom??

APPARENTLY... they are sitting in the NCY mail depot.

So sorry for the delay.

The mail system has been overwhelmed this year

with 

all the armchair ordering!!

We also hosted a contest with Angela 

of 

Gypsy Soul Fabrics.

You could win a package to finish your quilt!

One Westrade backing and Quilters Dream batting 

from

Second Story Quilting

and

Angela will longarm it!

Thank you to all the shares, likes and follows!

Our winner of our contest was Joanne McMechan!!

Can wait to see what she sends to have quilted!

Can't thank everyone enough for your support!

We hope to complete all the orders this week!

Brilliant Quilt by Taralee Quiltery

This spring I made this quilt called Aztec Skies

By

Taralee Quiltery

She is a pattern writer from Manitoba 

When she was looking for some pattern testers a few weeks ago, 

I thought I would give her a hand! 

This pattern is called Brilliant

And

Is fat quarter friendly 

I have a stack of Eclectic Elements by Tim Holtz

So I split them into pairs and got started

I wasn’t sure if it was going to go where I had hoped

But I kept plugging along...,

When finished putting all the blocks together, 

I loved it! 

I have had a busy summer as it was 3 months 

Since 

I had a quilt on my long arm! 

I used one of my new backings as the back ground fabric

Muted and mottled 

I saw a technique where you sew the binding 

On

With your long arm. 

I think I’ll give it another try! 

The Autumn Colors are perfect with this quilt! 

I backed it with a leaf print flannel 

And

Batting was luscious Quilter’s Dream orient 

This is going to be a pretty sweet quilt to use this winter! 

Have a look at Taralee Quiltery some time! 

Some very good Canadian patterns!
