Blossoms Bluff Quilt

I had one project I  knew I wanted to finish(and start) 

at

our fall retreat this year!

It was Blossom's Bluff by Whirligig Designs

I was lucky enough to get the exact fabrics needed for this project 

from 

Pleasant Pheasant Fabrics

Tamara had a kit she was planning to do 'someday'

but 

she decided she could sell it to ME!!!

I sewed it on my little featherweight

Crazy how this little box of fabric can be an entire quilt

I am LOVING my 'new to me' longarm!

This is the tenth quilt I have quilted up since September 25!!

I used a pantograph called Marmalade to do this one.

It really made this quilt pop 

with

 some Quilter's Dream double poly batting

Now to get it bound! 

One more Christmas gift ready to go!

Thank you to Tamara for making my day! 

She took all the thinking out of what fabrics to use.

I love it!

Counting down...

More Retreat Treats

The cows are all home and the feeding has begun...

The preg testing was completed thanks to Dr. Hoium and Dr. Patel.

This is the less glamorous part of being a vet...

But someone has to do it!!

So let the quilting begin!!

We each received a present at retreat from the Heart and Hands Guild.

Great things come in small packages!!

I will have to make sure I get this done for next year.

My purchases at our vendor, Shirley's Sewing Room  from Moosomin,Saskatchewan...

were a couple of yards of StoneHenge and  a Christmas FQ pack.....

And this little treat!!

I stopped at Shirley's this summer to see if she had the Texas Star pattern.

She didn't then... but she does now!!!

I saw it on the back of a magazine a year ago and LOVED it!!

  It was karma and had to come home with me.

I am going to make it with Stone Chips Warm/Cool.

Then that little pole dancer, Bev from Sew and Sews in Carlyle stopped in for a minute.

She had a few extra kits of the project they did this weekend so I purchased one also.

Love the colors and prints in this runner.

So bring on the Christmas tunes, and the snow they are calling for today!!

I am ready!!

And this 'not-so-little-anymore' frontman, Duracell???

I opened the door to let him in and 5 little kittens blasted in right behind him!!

It was a set up...should have known...that's alot of tracks for one cat!

You can never trust a cute face!

Going to sew!!
