Bunny Hill Contest

Bunny Hill Designs is having a contest.

It's Christmas in July 

I wanted to Santa to stuff my stocking with a new sewing machine.

But I still don't know what kind I want.

I LOVE my old pfaffs but the new ones have really disappointed me.

I would love some more Superior threads!! 

This stocking started with a charm pack of Reunion by Sweetwater for Moda

 

 I love the look of needle turn but don't have that skill perfected. 

The next best thing....

Ricky Tims stabilzer with a dab of glue and turned edges 

A light press...

 Ready to be zigzagged down! 

 Some of these prints lended themselves to thread

 The caps are another print from this collection. 

The little holder is a scrap of zipper

With the addition of some ruler ribbon....

and...Viola!!!

What will Santa stuff your stocking with??

Moose Jaw Quilt Show

Its the Moose Jaw Quilt Show this weekend! 

What a cute welcome with this quilted bug! 

They did such a good job that you can even drive the car!! 

 Loved this photo booth with the landscape background quilt! 

There was everything from wolves

To horses...

This little girl was replicated as a portrait...

 And a pixelated quilt

What a fabulous job!!

 There wqs a section of modern quilts with incredible quilting 

Loved the weaving effect with these colors  

 And the stitching that gave such texture to this one!

 The theme was Canada 150 

With a few quilts in that catagory

 

What a great rendition of a Bay blanket!! 

 

So OH CANADA!!!

A cute little cathedral window

 Tons of color....

 

 

It was a fun day! 

Lunch was spent catching up with all our quilting friends from around the province  

Always great to see everyone again!!

Thanks for an awesome day, Lori!

Now...going to get sewing with all this inspiration!

Block 4 was by Jan Patek

 

Block 5 is called Coronation by Lisa Bongean

Kansas Troubles made Penny Basket

 Block 8 was a basket of triangles....LITTLE Triangles

These blocks are 6 1/2" blocks!

I am using a bag of scrappy batiks.

It must be a magic bag because its not getting smaller!!

Gifts on Short Notice

My sister,Larissa is heading to England in a few days to visit family

(Yup...all my family are gypsies) 

She asked if I could make a couple quilts for two new babies!

 

I was going to try but time has creeped away!

 

So it was going to have to be something quick and easy.

 

Two little girls...

 

Well.....

 

This called for some sweet Tim Holtz cotton

And some bubble minky!! 

I made best use of all of my fabric so I was able to get two receiving blankets.

The Tim Holtz fabric is wide back and the minky was 60" wide.

 A couple yards of satin binding at Walmart..... mitred the corners

Using a decorative stitch to catch the edges of the binding.

I snuck in a little 'ps.i love you' tag in the angle! 

Just in the nick of time. 

 Hope they love them!!

A Father and his Daughters

We had the opportunity to meet some new friends 

David and his two daughters are taking the west by horse! 

They started in Pierson, Manitoba on April 8, 2017

The daughters, Stacey and Tressa want to qualify for the Long Riders Guild

which

means they need to do over 1000 miles in one trek! 

They hope to stay on side roads most of the way taking in all of what the west has to offer 

They are pretty self sufficient but appreciate all the help that has been offered! 

 They stayed a night at Justins farm. 

It was fun to hear about their adventure and live it a bit from our kitchen table! 

You can follow along with their excursion

I don't know why but when I was at the Monastery the day before,

I had purchased this little key.

I asked the Monk what it signified.

He told me it was a key for safe travels with the Saints on one side 

and 

forms of travel on the other.

I gave it to David and the girls. 

I told them they will need it more than I will. 

Till our paths cross again...

Safe travels!
