Fourteen Years...

Good Evening Internet Friends!

Today is 14 years since I was pulled by the jaws of life from my F150; unconscious and 13 weeks pregnant.

My son and I are both fine and doing well.  

Two years ago I found this panel and coordinating fabric.  Along with some Kona Solids from Sew Sisters I made the panel into a quilt:

Unfortunately the finished quilt top was "losted" (yes a made up word but fits the situation) to me.  Recently I was able to get it back and a fabulous long arm quilter (she has done quilts for me years ago) who is part of my local quilt guild long armed it for me and had it completed for me yesterday in honour of today.

I LOVE how it turned out:

I am "sew" intrigued with how the checkered area points all match and the stitching corresponds to it.  😻😻😻

This Time????

Good Evening Internet Friends!

Today was my day off so that meant errands and appointments.  A VERY busy day.  It was made better though by a friend of mine who lives close to one of the places I had to be and made me a soup and sandwich lunch.  The soup was so filling that I could not eat the sandwich so she packed it for me.  I will have it for lunch tomorrow.  🍞

One of the errands I did was dropping of a couple of quilts to be long armed.  The lady I dropped them off to did a quilt for me about 8 years ago and then I sort of lost contact with her.  She now lives about a 10 minute drive from me.  "Sew" excited.

The quilts I dropped off for her were quilts that I waited to have done for 22 months (seriously)!!!  As part of my New Year commitment to myself I have decided to really work my my mantra of "Ask Once".  If it does not happen then I will do it myself.  Since these quilts were still not done I simply asked for them  to be returned to me.  Two weeks in the garden shed and with a bit of unscented Febreze and they were good to go:

They are now in the cue to be done.  Sew" excited!!!

I'm Back.......

Good Evening Internet Friends!

As you can see I have been a little delinquent on the blog posts of late.  That is because very late a week ago Thursday I decided to move my craft room back into the room it had been in previously.  I had been moved out of the room to accommodate for the Mother In Law coming to visit several years ago.  Since she will no longer becoming to visit I decided it was time to take back my original craft room ☺

I had NO idea how much "stuff" aka junk had accumulated in that room over time.  Several blue bags, a couple of garbage bags and 4 garbage bags for donations I am almost completely moved and set up.

This evening I decided that I would do a quick easy project that I could complete and feel like I had done something in my newly acquired space ☺

I made a Dish Towel with a purchased 100% Twill Fabric Dish Towel. I made this one specifically for the barbecue due to the colour.  Since it is destined for the barbecue I chose a "Dad" appropriate fabric:

I am saying that this Dish Towel is for the Super Cool(Crew) Dad! ☺

Rainy Awful Waffle Sunday

Good Afternoon Internet Friends!

It is still raining here in Alberta and I think most of us are OKAY with that.  ☺

Since it was Sunday I of course made waffles for breakfast.  Today we had Oatmeal Blueberry Waffles:

Yummy!

After breakfast I finished the borders on my F 150 quilt and will hopefully get it over to be long armed later today:

I am pretty happy with it.  This one will be given to my son for his bed. Next up is the F 350 panel which hubby will get.

Now to get ready to go out for dinner.  Hubby decided to treat us to dinner out since we have not done anything "fun" this weekend except celebrate the rain!

Hope this inspires your own creativity...

Knitting in the F-350

On the way home from Great Falls I knitted on my Sock of the Month from Biscotte & Cie.  Shhhhh, this is the sock from March (I still have to start on April).  

I took my knitting along with my in my brand new Eggplant colored Mini Messenger Bag from Namaste.

River City Yarns did a special order on these bags a few weeks ago, and this is the one I chose.  So pretty, and purple ; )

Now, since this is a REALLY long road, I took some pictures too:

Are we there yet?

Are we there YET??

Now, ARE WE THERE YET???
Not quite....

Quiltin' the F-Series

I got up bright and early yesterday morning to hit up the quilt shops in Great Falls.

Here is what I found at Big Sky Quilts.  I could not leave it behind.  It came in a kit option with other F-Series fabric, so I opted for the kitted option.

Hope this inspires your own creativity...
