This quilt will be a gift for a grandson who lives in Houston.  Hard to see but there is embroidered cars that were done by their Grandpa and Grandma, a family affair.
Another quilt off to Houston for twin boys from the same family, yes 3 boys!


I slipped in my Twister quilt that still needs another border yet.


An absolute beautiful quilt done by Diane, one of her first embroidered quilt and yes she is a marvel

Grace's stunning quilt, great job once again.

Now wasn't that fun and I hope you enjoyed a part of Victoria's best quilters!  As you can see we also have a few ladies that excel in knitting and crocheting.  Yes Victoria is lucky to have us, wink, wink!

Thanks to Samelia's Mum

I won a giveaway awhile back on the Samelia's Mum blog and here is what she gifted me.  Thanks to another blogger The Rogue Quilter who alerted me to the fact that I had won.  Don't you just love other quilter's who "watch your back" just as she did for me.  Thanks Miriam you rock.   So here is a picture of my cute Moda Chrysalis charm pack.  Thanks Samelia's Mum it is just perfect.
I was excited to just even receive a package all the way from Australia. 
Well I feel that this charm pack should go to The Rogue Quilter, after all if it wasn't for her I would of missed knowing I won.  I don't always check back on giveaways because who thinks they really will win.  Don't you think she deserves it, I certainly do.  Being she lives and works in  my neck of the woods I'll hand deliver it to her.
Happy Sunday everyone.

GO! Halloween placemats


I wanted to bring Halloween placemats for my Grand daughters Maddy and Brooke when I visited them for 8 days this month (I just got back on Tuesday).  So I set up the GO! and got to work and this is what came from my antics.




I used both my Accuquilt GO! and Baby GO! for this project and it took no time at all to do.
So with these placemats, books, chocolate and other goodies I flew back to the Prairies to visit these little ladies.

Maddy and Brooke who live back in Saskatchewan are the love of my life are enjoying a cup of hot chocolate with the other love of my life, my hubby Dale who I will be married to for 36 years on the 1st of November.
They only use placemats on the oak table not on the breakfast bar in the kitchen, whew, don't want them to get in trouble with cocoa spills!
