And then there were THREE!!!

Good Evening Internet Friends!

Well, the weekend has come to a close.  I am looking forward to heading back to work tomorrow.  I still intermittently have no voice, but the cough has got better.

I did manage between my naps to make Block 3 of my Block of the Month from Sew Divine:

TAH DAH!!!

Hope this inspires your own creativity and wishing you all the 
BEST Day EVER Monday!!!

Hack.....Hack...Hello...

Good Evening Internet Friends!

Today is the first time in almost 2 weeks that I have been up long enough to accomplish anything and to blog about it!!!

I managed to somehow contact what I am going to describe as the Plague of 19.  It has been a looooooong time since I have been this ill!

Today after a few naps I did manage to make three more portions for my Lush Block of the Month from Sew Divine:

TAH DAH!!!  Only three more of these and I will be almost caught up!

Hope this inspires your own creativity and withing you the 
BEST Day EVER Saturday 🥳

"Sew" Productive...

Good Evening Internet Friends!

End of the work week for me today!  "Sew" after dinner prep, dinner, and dog walk I took some time to myself and played in my craft room.

Trying to stay on track with things I decided to finish up Block 2 of my Lush quilt.  This is a Block of the Month from Sew Divine:

Month 2 blocks completed.


Month 1 and Month 2 blocks put together.  These will form borders of the quilt eventually.

Hope this inspires your own creativity and wishing you all the 
BEST Day EVER Friday!!🎉

Month Two...

Good Evening Internet Friends.

Stopped by Sew Divine this evening to pick up month three of my Block of the Month.  I may have also picked up a couple of notion items that I am going to need.

As I have not yet started month two I decided to do that this evening after dinner.  Here is my slow progress so far:

TAH DAH!!!  Six 6 1/2" blocks ready to roll.  It does not look like a lot of progress but I will justify this progress by saying all the fabric for this month is now cut "sew" sewing tomorrow should be easier!

LOVE these colours.

Hope this inspires your own creativity and wishing you the 
BEST Day EVER Tuesday tomorrow.  🎉

Really pleased to see my points all perfect on these☺  Small victories.....I know...

Hope this inspires your own creativity...

Still Waiting...

Good Evening Internet Friends!

Since yesterday mid afternoon we have been warned about a very bad storm that will be in the area.  All day it looked like it might rain but so far in my hood there has been NOTHING.  A bit of wind at times and that is all.

Still feeling a bit weak after my asthma attack yesterday.  

"Sew" for today in addition to going to the St Albert Farmers' Market I did some sock knitting and made another two of the Flying Geese Blocks for my Flowers for My Wedding Ring quilt:

Feeling exhausted again, so think it is time to tuck into bed and maybe take my knitting with me.

Hope this inspires your own creativity...

Half Way...

Good Afternoon Internet Friends!

I shall post earlier than I usually do today.  

Today is the half way point in what I am referring to my double double shifts!  Somehow I have agreed to work 7 days straight, double shifts in this, and of course overtime!  Not sure how I did this but have reached the half way point.  😼

I have also reached the half way point with my Flying Geese Blocks for my Flowers for My Wedding Ring Quilt:

TAH DAH!!!

I am in awe of how awesome these blocks are turning out.  This quilt is going to be AMAZING!!!!

Hope this inspires your own creativity...

Just Keep Swimming....

Good Evening Internet Friends!

Today was another sort of lazy day "sew" not a whole lot of anything accomplished other than I did have my afternoon nap 😸😺

After dinner I played with my collage again and here is what I managed to complete:

Will try to start on the head and finish the "grout" on the shells tomorrow...

Hope this inspires your own creativity...

"Sew" Much Fun!

Good Evening Internet Friends!

It was Collage Class Day today at Purple Katz!!!  A road trip was involved "sew" that made me happy as well.

Here is my progress for today:

Seawell is doing swimmingly in his new ocean 😁.  I found this batik fabric when I picked up my kit at Purple Katz the other day and thought it made the perfect ocean background.  

Using batik fabrics has been a huge leap for me because up until recently I had not used batiks.  The reason largely being that I had not used them and when I pointed out a more experienced quilter than I that her points were really off on her blocks she informed me that batik fabrics stretch and if I knew more about quilting I would know this......well...now that I have used batiks for the Wedding Ring Quilt and this collage quilt I am excited to use batiks!!! (and batik fabrics do not stretch......shhhhhh).

I am hoping to get some serious progress made on this quilt this week and then show you what I have planned for him.

Hope this inspires your own creativity...

Moving Along....

Good Evening Internet Friends!

So far this weekend kiddo and I have accomplished not a lot of anything other than some marthon tele watching.

I did spend part of yesterday and some of today in my craft room and as of this evening I can proudly say that I have 16/49 blocks made for my Flowers for My Wedding Ring quilt.

I am especially proud of myself for this quilt because it is a quilt I have always wanted to make.  The second reason I am super proud of myself is for how well my points match up.  I am not usually a fan of batik fabrics and this is my first time using them.  I was once told by another quilter that the points on her quilt did not match because batiks stretch and are hard to work with.  Welllllllllll...........

This is making me super happy 😼.

Here are the completed eight blocks from this weekend:

Points all matching!!!

Hope this inspires your own creativity...
