<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My quilt "Frosty Christmas" and I made it to the 2017 National Juried Show and it truly one of those surreal moments in the life of a quilter. My hubby and I flew to Toronto on June 14 and returned on the 17th. Our time was spent between the hotel room and the quilt show which was a quick taxi ride away or about 25 min. on foot. Though we walked to it once and back twice with the temp and high humidity making it 37 C we probably should've melted, yet I noticed the extra padding is still there, wink, wink.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I was too nervous to eat our first morning but once we made it to the show and I finally saw the quilt hanging all nervousness vanished and I felt like I could enjoy the rest of my time there. My most memorable moment not including seeing my quilt hung at a major quilt show was when I received a big hug from one of the white glove ladies who was in charge of the area my quilt was displayed in. She was so enthusiastic to see one of the creators of this quilt (Jennifer Watson being the other) and the fact that this was my first ever major quilt show that she spontaneously gave me a big bear hug. I will never forget that moment and it brought me to tears! Sandy you'll never know how much that eased my nervousness and what a great gift you gave me that day! Though the quilt didn't win a ribbon at this quilt show I still feel very blessed to have been selected from a possible 300 entries to the 126 that were finally chosen, what an honour that was to be in such an elite group of quilters.</div>

About three weeks ago we decided to visit Leavenworth, Washington for a quick getaway and enjoyed our time immensely. It's a touristy town but done well in the Bavarian theme, though we missed he Oktoberfest weekends it was very much in evidence.<br />

The first important thing, at least to my oldest Granddaughter is that she's now officially taller than me! She will be twelve in January 2017 and she's loves to draw, swim, read and so much more.</div>

Secondly I've gotten back to working on my Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt blocks and I think the time away has worked in my favor as they don't seem to frustrate me as "much". Here's a sampling of the blocks and I can't wait for the day when I can finally put the binding on it.</div>

On our way back to Lloydminster a stop was made at <a href="http://www.loriscountrycottage.com/">Lori's Country Cottage</a> in Sherwood Park, Alberta. About an hour out of the city I quickly posted on the Canadian Quilters FB page to the effect if you only had the chance to stop at one shop in the Edmonton, AB area what it would be? Several shops came up as favourites but <a href="http://www.loriscountrycottage.com/">Lori's Country Cottage</a> was the one we decided on and it didn't disappoint. <br />
Once inside I asked if I may take pictures which is a must when you enter any quilt shop and they were very obliging so here is a few pictures of the inside of what turned out to be gem of a quilt shop.<br />

Ha, Ha, I'm back to the wool section and guess what, it's by Buttermilk Basin, kits, patterns and I discovered they even carried the teeny, tiny buttons for eyes that Stacy uses, which I had to order from the USA but not anymore because I know Lori's Country Cottage now carries them!<br />

When I made a final decision on all my treasures I was asked if my name was in the system which it was not so sure add me I said. Well, guess what? If you're in their "system" when it's the day before, day of or day after your birthday you get an extra 20% off your purchase! Be still my heart as the day before was my birthday so I happily allowed them to give me a discount, wink, wink! The bear in the picture below is played for those with Birthday savings!<br />

It's been hot in my sewing room this week and it actually reached almost 28C* on Friday and I really can't tolerate those kind of temperatures so I've not accomplished much I'm afraid. Our condo is on the fourth floor of an older building and we face West...need I say more?<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Bonnie Hunter and her good friend Irene stopped in Victoria for a few short hours last Thursday at the end of their Alaskan Quilt Cruise and after several texts back and forth we whisked her and Irene away for a quick visit to Butchart Gardens and Hatley Castle. Check Bonnie's blog posts <a href="http://quiltville.blogspot.ca/2016/07/butchart-gardens-with-friends.html">here</a> and <a href="http://quiltville.blogspot.ca/2016/07/a-visit-to-hatley-castle-victoria-bc.html">here</a> to get an idea of the superb time that was had. I think when Bonnie described visiting our beautiful city as... Victoria, "sigh" actually says it all and you must visit here to get the full effect of that statement.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Once off the Cruise ship we hurriedly made our way to Butchart Gardens through what we call the back roads which is not only scenic but through less traffic.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's so interesting to see Butchart Gardens through the eyes of someone who has never visited before, we have season passes and are able to visit whenever we like so tend to forget the magnificence of this national treasure.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
With Flower guide in hand we're off and I found myself as the time keeper because Bonnie needed to be back to the ship for a 3:15PM meeting and we all know how fast those hours can go by.</div>

A little bit of this and a little bit of that is what has been going on in my life lately so there's really not alot of progress happening on my charm square quilt.<br />
<br />
I've made 13 Maple Leaf blocks for the MQG that will end up in a quilt for the residents of Fort McMurray who lost so much with the devastating fires not that long ago.<br />

This is a picture of our oldest Granddaughter who is a member of the local swim club in her home town, she was on the front page of the sports section and this is her first year and she's loving it. Oh yes, I'm a very proud Grandma and so happy she's found her niche. <br />

One of my quilting days with a friend saw us making a lunch with a recipe I saw on FB and you never know if it's going to be a keeper or not but this one was a real winner. Actually it's a quiche but with a sweet potato crust and oh my just so tasty.<br />

Now onto the quilty side this is what I've been working on this past week, after finishing piecing Celtic Solstice I felt I needed something simple and this not only helped use up languishing Batik charm packs but would not take forever to put together. I found the pattern on FB and here is the link<a href="https://mypatchwork.wordpress.com/2016/01/07/video-tutorial-disappearing-9-patch-block-variation-2/">TeresaDownUnder</a>. It's super easy but very effective and I can see it done in a variety of scrappy fabrics don't you think?<br />
Monday is my next Cortisone shot for my neck issues so keep your fingers crossed because I certainly am.<br />

SO...apparently I'm one block short of a full quilt and how did I miss the mark on this one? This is what happens when you can have a UFO squirreled away until the time is right and your math is less than stellar.

Once that's done then I get to put these rows together, this is the small version and I really am having to let the perfectionist in me take a back seat because if my seams and points match at least by 5% I'll be happy.<br />

There certainly was alot of hexies basted and I'm debating as to whether I should start thinking about a more concrete plan for a quilt of these or just perhaps let them multiply while we continue to travel.</div>

I was able to stop at <a href="http://www.hamelsfabrics.com/">Hamels Quilt Shop</a> in Chilliwack, BC when we headed back to Saskatchewan and I picked up some great Genziana wool thread and the price was so reasonable I went a little crazy or not!</div>

I also needed some more Red Wool for the <a href="http://www.buttermilkbasin.com/shop/Mystery-BOM.htm">Buttermilk Basin BOM 2016</a> that I've started on and I found some real great pieces, now remember wool isn't cheap by any means but it does go along way...you don't toss any small pieces because it can always be used.</div>

This is some lovely fabric I also purchased at another quilt shop, <a href="http://www.extraordinaryextras.com/">Extraordinary Extras </a>, I've spoke of this place before as they not only carry different quilt fabrics than what I see here at home but they also have a Gammil for quilters like me who prefer to have someone else machine quilt their quilt tops. I finally was able to bring the only 2 tops I actually made in the past year for them to do and I just love how they turned out so when I put the binding on them I'll flaunt them on my blog.</div>

This is our view on the Ferry when we returned home last Friday and it was the first time we've been at the front of the boat and able to see this view just before we docked, so much fun.</div>

So I'm off to do a bit of quilting, I've missed that room so much and it beckons me.</div>

Two weeks ago we said goodbye to a wonderful man, my Father-in-law who had suffered from Dementia and Kidney Cancer. We were very privileged to be there for his final journey. He was a teacher for most of his life starting at the tender age of sixteen which is hard to believe these days but was very normal then. What one learns during these times is that you must always tell the people you love how much you care about them, please never let that opportunity go by.<br />

I was asked to make two sets of Pillowcases and two sets of Placemats (eight in total) for some friends of my son. The friends work in the RV industry and they are holding a showcase and would like these for staging of the RVs. I finished them up yesterday and even free-motioned the placemats rather than straight line quilting. It's been quite awhile since doing any free-motion quilting but it turned out just fine and I was happy with the finished project.<br />

For the fishermen in your family, isn't it too cute. I found this fabric at a local shop called <a href="http://www.bibntucker.com/">Bib N Tucker Quilting</a> which is a 10 minute walk from where I live. It's been nice to have this shop relocate so close to home or is it?<br />

Back in the recesses of my mind and closet I found my next wool project. Purchased quite awhile ago I knew that someday I would feel more capable of doing it justice than I did at that moment in time and yesterday was the day. So here is a picture of getting it prepped and I might add that it took a fair bit of time.<br />

I subscribe to <a href="https://thequiltshow.com/">The Quilt Show</a> and have for several years and if you are waffling on whether to spend your hard earned dollars on this Internet based program please don't, it's a wealth of useful information and you are kept informed of what's new and happening in the quilt world. I watched the latest episode and it featured a gal of many talents but one who loves her wool especially. Her name is Anna Bates aka <a href="http://wooliemammoth.blogspot.ca/">Woolie Mammoth</a> which is her blog name and I gleamed some very useful information on how to prep my wool projects. Between her shared knowledge and Paulette Doyle's which you may know as <a href="http://sweetp-paulette.blogspot.ca/">Sweet P Quilting</a> I feel alot more confident as I embark on this new journey of wool...thanks gals I appreciate it immensely.<br />
Have a wonderful Tuesday and I hope you are able to spend some of this day doing whatever makes your heart "sing".</div>

It's another gray day in Victoria, BC so I'm sure I'll try and spend sometime in my quilty space as along as the neck allows it.</div>

Block 1 is done for the free <a href="http://www.buttermilkbasin.com/shop/Mystery-BOM.htm">Buttermilk Basin's 2016 Mystery BOM</a> and it only makes me excited to see what the next block will be. Can I keep up with the "Woolly Gang", I sure hope so but it really was too cute not to jump on board.<br />

I've been adding to my stash with the hopes of quilting sooner than later and I've found some really fun pieces too. The Family Guy fabric will be pillowcases for my sons and the cording is intended for a fabric bowl which I've never done but thanks goodness for YouTube right. Some neutrals at a great price and the tin box contains <a href="http://zappydots.com/quilt-dots.html">Quilt Dots</a>. <br />

News in regards to the pain in the neck (and I'm not referring to anyone I know), I met with the pain specialist and I now have a plan of attack. What I've learnt in all of this is that I'm getting older and my body is starting to reflect this...how did this getting older happen!<br />
<br />
I've gone back to doing some wool work and knitting with not being able to do very much sewing. I put in an SOS to <a href="http://sweetp-paulette.blogspot.ca/">Sweet P</a> with my problems with wool applique, what threads one can use, etc.<br />

It's slow but sure and the project is from a kit I bought years ago and let me tell you the wool is horrible, frays something awful even after prepping it the way they stated. <br />

I do like knitting these socks and I'm still amazed that I can actually do this. Knitting was never my forte and the fact that I prefer ankle socks definitely saves on the yarn.<br />
<br />
Happy Tuesday everyone.<br />

It's all about the name today, some things were just meant to be and this was just like that. A gal named Candy left a comment on my last post in reference to naming my new-to-me Singer 185. She said that she was a beauty, which she is and that she'd call her Ivy. Now that's a perfect name for her because my paternal Grandmother's name was Ivy. Thanks for the your help Candy, your suggestion was bang on.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
